Wombat Said Come In by Carmen Agra Deedy

Two White Rabbits by Jairo Buitrago

September 30, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Picture book round up time! Both these books can be for any age, however, there are sensitive issues that might not be for everyone. Wombat Said Come In is a multiple layered story. It is about friendship, loss and even about limits. Wombat is sitting down when he hears a knock, a friend is in need. The land is on fire and one by one the knocks on the door find another friend in need. Of course, maybe a bit hesitantly (especially when the house […]

A book about a cute bat and their cute squirrel friend

Little Bat Up All Day by Brian Lies.

May 2, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I really enjoyed Bats at the Beach by Brian Lies. Therefore, every so often I pick up one of their new books (or read again an older one).

Curious about what the animals do during the daytime, Little Bat decides to stay up all day. At first, things are confusing and scary. After all Little Bat is […]

Getting over the Rough Patch

The Rough Patch by Brian Lies

December 28, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Rough Patch I figured was going to be a book about a garden that needed love and patience. Or maybe a bad garden that caused a rough patch between neighbors. While love and patience is needed, it is not what you think at first. Evan and his dog do everything together, that is until the unthinkable happens. Now Evan is alone, mad, sad and feeling prickly. He does not go out until the day he goes out to the garden and chops it all […]
