What Rosa Brought by Jacob Sager Weinstein

Come and Join Us!: 18 Holidays Celebrated All Year Long by Liz Kleinrock

Once Upon a Sari by Zenia Wadhwani

October 18, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Recently I posted on my Facebook page a couple images from books I was promoting that day. One was a book I had posted here before, The Night Before Eid: A Muslim Family Story, by Aya Khalil and the other What Rosa Brought by Jacob Sager Weinstein. Considering current events, I wanted to promote love, positivity and acceptance.  And I cannot think of two better books to show this. Except maybe Once Upon a Sari by Zenia Wadhwani. Or Come and Join Us! 18 Holidays […]

Are you a member of the tiny and shiny club?

Glitter Everywhere!: Where it Came From, Where It's Found & Where It's Going by Chris Barton

June 16, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am giving Glitter Everywhere!: Where it Came From, Where It’s Found & Where It’s Going is a 4.5. I started writing this review before I had officially finished (okay I was only a handful of pages in and already knew I was going to love it) as I was really excited about the Tiny and Shiny Club that I just had to stop what I was doing and tell you about beetles.  “WHOA! There!” I am sure you are saying, “Beetles? The title said […]

Adaptations of Classic tales

A Taste of Honey: Kamala Outsmarts the Seven Thieves ( by Rebecca Sheir

The Tale of the Unwelcome Guest: Nasruddin Teaches the Town a Lesson by Rebecca Sheir

December 16, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

A few reviews back I wrote about another A Circle Round Book by Rebecca Sheir. Each one has been illustrated by different people. Therefore, that change might help you enjoy one over the other. But also, the flow and tone of the story is slightly different and that can help one’s enjoyment of them. The Great Ballgame was illustrated by Joshua Pawis-Steckley and is based on Native American mythology and culture. A Taste of Honey: Kamala Outsmarts the Seven Thieves (illustrated by Chaaya Prabhat) has […]

I want to try the dish and get a doll of our gal Anni!

Anni Dreams of Biryani by Namita Moolani Mehra

August 17, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Anni Dreams of Biryani has a bittersweet ending. And that colored my feelings about the story Namita Moolani Mehra tells. I was on board with our young hero, Anni, as she tries to figure out how to make biryani as well as Uncle (as the man who owns the café across the way is called) does. But no matter what she does, she cannot get the secret from this grumpy (but eyes shining) man. Oh, her biryani comes close, but is not exactly right. And […]
