Trees & Rabbits

Willow and Bunny by Anitra Rowe Schulte

March 21, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

A few reviews ago I mentioned that too sweet is peppermint patties and hot chocolate. This time, this book is not exactly that sweet, but it is close to it. Willow and Bunny has a spiritual feeling that could be too sweet for some people, and maybe not enough for others. Anitra Rowe Schulte’s story is about a bunny who “hears a voice” and follows it, trusting it will not lead them astray. And sure enough they find the Willow tree and her shelter. Over […]

What a bird

Bibi by Jo Weaver

March 10, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport, author from other country (lives in England/Scotland) Jo Weaver, you are a mean mean person. You made me almost cry. And I am sure had I been just a bit over the tired edge, I would still be crying.  Bibi is a beautiful story about caring for those who need help, especially when they are too small, tired, or perhaps too old to do it by themselves. The idea of family (or in this case flock) and what they do for each other is […]

Derek Laufman has a new fan

The Witch of Wickerson by Derek Laufman

March 7, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

   CBR15Passport, New Author  The Witch of Wickerson by Derek Laufman is a fantastic book with amazing illustrations and a clever story. I could see a series and/or a movie or animated series adapted from it. While it has twists and turns, and can be dark, it is a slightly easier and less intense than Redwall. The adventures are based in fantasy elements (a mouse wearing clothes, talking animals, a witch) can be intense for young or sensitive readers. And there is the kidnapping of the […]

My cup of books overflows

When You Look Out the Window: How Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin Built a Community by Gayle E. Pitman

This Day in June by Gayle E. Pitman

They're So Flamboyant by Michael Genhart

January 6, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was browsing an online catalog and found several titles on GLBTQ+ themes.  Some had a few pages to sample the goodies inside, but others had full text. I have picked a few and will be doing more in another review, but three per review should probably be a limit, otherwise your eyes will pop out at all the goodness in one place and not able to read! When You Look Out the Window: How Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin Built a Community by Gayle E. […]

This is my world and yours

Coexist by Lauren Grabois Fischer

January 3, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Every page in Coexist by Lauren Grabois Fischer has the words, “This is my world.” Until the very end and you have, “Yes. This is our world.” And, not counting the parental afterwards and the extras, this is the entire story. Therefore, this works best with the really young listener or the young reader who is just starting to read (as they will probably memorize). However, if you are like me when babysitting, or with the nephews, and had to read the same book over […]

A few picture book reviews for your entertainment

The Crayons Go Back to School  by Drew Daywalt

Danbi's Favorite Day by Anna Kim

Cooler than Lemonade: A Story about Great Ideas and How They Happen by Jerath Harshita

December 26, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Shhhh! I should be working, but it is a day off for most of the people in my area so, I sneaked in a few picture books and reviews as nobody was around to see me be naughty (not even the Big Guy, as he’s in his office working!) The Crayons Go Back to School by Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers is a simple story about the crayons new adventure (read via Edelweiss, due mid May 2023). It is the crayons being crayons. The […]
