Lloyd Finds His Whalesong by Skylaar Amann

July 6, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

What book was going to be my cbr12bingo Music block? Though I could not remember the title right off, I knew a book about a whale I had read would be perfect. After bugging a coworker to 1) read it and 2) tell me the title I found it. The background to the book is almost as fun. as the book itself. As I said, after I had found this book that had caught my eye because of its lovely blue cover, that allowed me […]

Eight Days: A Story of Haiti by Edwidge Danticat

October 25, 2019 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

Edwidge Danticat writes about Haiti with love and realism. With the picture book, Eight Days: A Story of Haiti they created a beautiful and sad story about a young boy trapped for over a week after the earthquake of Haiti a few years ago. However, this came out soon after the actual event, so it was timely. Now, one might have to explain the actual event, but sadly, we still have natural disasters, and this could be used to talk about them as well. Based […]

Courage!

Brave Enough for Two by Jonathan D. Voss

June 26, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Brave Enough for Two (a Hoot and Olive book) has allusions to Winnie the Pooh. It is a soft, classically toned story written and illustrated by Jonathan D. Voss. This time, instead of Christopher Robin and Pooh, we have Olive and Hoot. Olive is the type of girl who likes adventures in books and Hoot is the type of stuffed owl who likes the “go out and have” adventures. And just like Pooh Bear and Christopher Robin, they go out into the world and have […]

One day, an egg rolled out of the nest and into a deep pond. This caused the egg, now […]
