Rosetown Summer by Cynthia Rylant

July 18, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr14bingo Font Level Two Cynthia Rylant is known for their cute, young stories. If you like having a Happily Ever After ending you will usually get it. And Rosetown Summer is no exception. This adorable novella is a book two (Rosetown was book one in the Rosetown Books) that can be read as a standalone. The joys of the familiar mix with the fear of the unknown and change, but as our main character travels along the road from fourth to fifth grades, she learns […]

Lighthouse Family round 8

While there was a recap of who Pandora, Seabold and their family […]

Life

Life by Cynthia Rylant

April 12, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Dealing with Life (a beautiful, changing, not easy thing) this author/illustrator team have created a lovely work that is truly poetic. Author Cynthia Rylant and Brendan Wenzel (illustrator) have created a home run out of the park with Life. While there is a lot of heartache to Life they show that there is a lot of good, too. The illustrations accent and compliment the text without over powering them. After reading, and the ever bookseller, my brain did its check list: Do I like this? […]
