Be a big deal!

Big by Vashti Harrison

March 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Oh, aren’t you a big girl, eating your dinner! Well look how big you have gotten. Now, eat up and get big and strong. When you’re little these are what the adults tell you. And they push being a “big kid” and we as kids want to be like the “big kids.” Until the day we are told there is such a thing as “too big” and that means “wrong.” And that is what our young girl is this story deals with. Vashti Harrison talks […]

If Dominican Were a Color by Sili Recio

July 29, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The narrator of the story, If Dominican Were a Color, is proud of the colors of their home, the Dominican Republic. And that love shines with the text of Sili Recio and the amazing illustrations of Brianna McCarthy. From the colors of cinnamon, cocoa, the blue black of dreams and many more come to life, with deeply rich and bold illustrations. They are proud and strong. The colors explode off the page. The story itself is one we know: be proud of who you are […]

I might have wanted to go to this camp if I known there would be cool kids like Willow and her friends

Secrets of Camp Whatever Volume One by Chris Grine

August 25, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

An adorable coming of age with lots of humor story is the best way to describe Secrets of Camp Whatever Volume One. Monsters, adventures, and snacks come together when a handful of children go to a bit of a creepy, but cool, summer camp. Adventure awaits! Just watch out for fog leeches. Chris Grine created characters that are relatable, diverse, and are full of surprises. Willow, our main character, and her friends are sent to a summer camp for a few weeks. Willow does not […]

If you’re looking for information about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion… Look no further

Strategic Diversity Leadership by Damon A. Williams

Strategic Diversity Leadership by Katrina C. Wade Golden

May 21, 2021 by msvreadsbooks 1 Comment

This is an amazingly useful book for folx thinking about DEIAR issues. I read it as kind of professional development, and even though I’ve been working in this space for a long time, I feel like I learned a lot about both the history of DEI and some tangible action items to do better work. There are so many articles and infographics around DEI now that it’s become the topic du jour. I think a lot of companies and people are genuinely looking for ways […]

Sugary sweet summer read

The Bride Test by Helen Hoang

July 29, 2019 by Jen K Leave a Comment

Bingo Square: Listicle When I saw the Listicle category, I figured the easiest way to find a list with something I wanted to read would be to google “Best Books of 2019” or “Summer Reads for 2019,” and Cosmopolitan came through for me.  It had a few novels I had already read and enjoyed, a few that were already on my to read list, and has given me a few more novels to keep an eye out for.  The Bride Test fell into the second […]

An adventure of a life time (or at least for one red stroller)

The Little Red Stroller by Joshua Furst

May 28, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Little Red Stroller is a unique idea for sharing, caring, learning about community and diversity. Joshua Furst takes us on an adventure of a life time. Or at least, the life time of one special red stroller. We first see a mother holding her young baby and off in the background, a red stroller that will take mom and baby on many adventures. Then one day, they meet another family in need of a stroller, and that now-not-so young baby, tells them to take […]
