The beautiful stuff

Duck, Duck, Tiger by Brittany R. Jacobs

For the Beauty of the Earth by Folliott S. Pierpoint

November 1, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Two more I read via online reader copies (and are available) titles are below. Sadly, no themes, just two fun books that people need to know about. And as we know, knowing is half the battle! One little girl feels like a tiger. Which would be fine except all the people in Duck, Duck, Tiger are, you guessed it, ducks. The classic idea of trying to fit in, when you are very different, is alive and strong here. And yes, we have seen it before, […]

Ah! Love!

Eyes That Weave the World’s Wonders by Joanna Ho

Love Grows by Ruth Spiro

Say It with Me (Dilo Conmigo) by Nancy S. Torres

October 19, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Sometimes a theme takes a little while to find when I look at books to write as one fun, roundup review. but the three below took no time at all to find a connection. Each one is about love. Love of family, love of yourself, and love even when we are far away from our loved ones.  Love of family and self is the theme in Eyes That Weave the World’s Wonders. Joanna Ho and Liz Kleinrock (also of Come and Join Us!: 18 Holidays […]

Diversity

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 […]

What’s that sound?

Tapping Feet by Moira Rose Donohue

August 15, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I really enjoy my job as a staff member of an independent bookstore. You never know what you will find on the shelves (for sale and reader copies, where I found an ARC, Juba! by Walter Dean Myers, that had introduced me to a few names shown here). Or in the emails we receive saying, “Hey we have these reader copies and if you’re interested email me and I’ll send you something.” In early August I had asked for a finished copy of Tapping Feet […]

The world in your hands

A Garden in My Hands by Meera Siram

July 6, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I have found several picture books of late. One of them, A Garden in My Hands is a sweet, contemporary book that explores the Indian culture of one child’s family. While the mother of the story shares her own stories about the family, their culture, and more, the little girl watches them come alive as her mother applies to her hands some henna. There is a little humor and a lot of love. Meera Siram has tapped into a special world to share with those […]

Around the world in a book

Lunar New Year (Celebrations & Festivals) by Natasha Yim

Martina Has Too Many Tias by Emma Otheguy

The Masjid Kamal Loves by Ashley Franklin

Lali’s Flip-Flops by Farhana Zia

July 3, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was in the mood for picture books, and when I went looking for one, I found four. (I was surprised I only found four). And when I started to really look at them, I realized they were all culturally based.  And due to the shorter nature of them, it would be hard to write individual reviews, so here is a “Around the World ” in four books themed review. All are currently available and all are good reads and I will probably read the […]
