A child named Jeffrey and one named Sam

Jeffrey Loves Blue by Lorretta Garbutt

Step by Step by Kat Boger

May 24, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was not going to pair these two picture books together, but then realized that even if I could do a 250 worded review on each, they have the similar theme of doing hard things, of stepping outside their comfort zone. The way each character does the hard thing is different, but good for today’s contemporary audience.  (Please note both titles were read via online reader copies). Both books would work well as a one-on-one read or for a classroom setting. At first, I thought […]

What do you see in me?

Tree Spirits by Louise Wannier

May 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I thought when I saw the title, Tree Spirits that the book would be either a story about tree spirits with animals and maybe a child or two for an environmental book; or it would be about the mythology and legends of tree spirits in a non-fiction format. It is neither. It is photographs that have hidden images. The author gives you some ideas of what they see, but you could see what you want as well. And I liked almost all of Louise Wannier […]

A book and review about nothing

The Museum of Nothing by Steven Guarnaccia

May 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I have read several picture books of late as they are fun and easy to read. I like to say I have accomplished something. You might think it is nothing, but trust me, it is something. Yet, when you read about about Nothing, have you read something? You have if it was the book The Museum of Nothing. Steven Guarnaccia shows us that there is a lot of something in nothing. Not only are there words (some of which are explained in the afterwards at […]

Add one kid and one panda and you got panda-monium

Cindy and Panda by Benson Shum

May 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am trying to find all the Benson Shum books I can easily find. There looks like there are several titles that they only illustrated and one or two they have solo written that I will not find, but in the meantime, I have found several others. Such as Cindy and Panda. However, the story was not my favorite, but I adore the illustrations. Panda is so pandorable! I want to make a Panda Pie… I mean make a pie with Panda. Like Cindy does. […]

Well, at least the bear was cute

Hello, Tiny Bear by Yusuke Yonezu

Going Home by Seymour Chwast

May 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

My round up of books that should be talked about, but are not for me, is below. Both were read via online reader copies, and both are future publications. The first is Hello, Tiny Bear. At first, I was okay, Yusuke Yonezu made a cute bear cub as their main character. I then saw that it was a board book (or would be, remember online reader copy, due late August/early September 2023). And I was, “Okay I am not a toddler; therefore, this simple text […]

Gazing at the stars

The Thing to Remember About Stargazing by Matt Forrest Esenwine

May 11, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Thing to Remember About Stargazing is to have fun. But there are other things you should do as well, and the book by Matt Forrest Esenwine tells everything about them. The poetic wonder filled story is contemporary with feeling and is emotional. There is the idea of awe that one should approach stargazing with, as the author tells us. Things flow, are soft, but strong, and fit the illustrations well. I am not sure of what format Sonia Maria Luce Possentini used for the […]
