Don’t let your doodle steal the hat of the baby in the painting

Doodlesville #2: Art Attacks!: (A Graphic Novel) by Chad Sell

September 19, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Doodlesville #2: Art Attacks!: (A Graphic Novel) by Chad Sell might not be as strong as the first book in the Doodlesville series, but it is still an interesting story about growing up, self esteem and teamwork. It would be best to read both volumes back-to-back (so if you have read volume one it just means you need to read it again). Chad Sell has a style that you can see in this series and their other series, The Cardboard Kingdom. Which is lighthearted, humorous and with a […]

A boy and his bird

Kozo the Sparrow by Allen Say

August 16, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Kozo the Sparrow by Allen Say is what you expect from a Say picture book. Due in mid-October 2023 I read via an online reader copy. The story is about his childhood, there are the children of post-war, and there his classical upbringing with the more modern touches of the time. There is nothing new, but as always, Say does not disappoint. The story of nursing a young bird to health, the responsibility and the fondness he has for this bird is wonderfully presented. You […]

Loss and Love

Always Sisters: A Story of Loss and Love by Saira Mir

August 16, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When you see a book with the title Always Sisters: A Story of Loss and Love a lot can go through your mind, as I know it did for me. Which was mostly what we were to deal with in the case of death. Disease? Accident? An older sibling taking their own life? Not to mention, is this going to be a straight forward or a “sappy” read. For me that made the process of reading this book perhaps more interesting than the book itself. […]

I appreciate the hard work that went into creating the book, though

Cruel Illusions by Margie Fuston

August 15, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I had seen the cover of Cruel Illusions as an online reader copy ages back. I saved the link but never got around to reading it, and then the link expired. No big deal, I’d get to it eventually, and recently I requested it via an interlibrary loan. Well, I almost wish I hadn’t. The cover lied. To a point. It would have (at the end) the roses and the main character dressed like that, but that romanticism was pushed all until the end (except […]

Picture book round up part… I’ve lost count

The Mighty Pollinators by Helen Frost

Too Much!: An Overwhelming Day by Jolene Gutierrez

Steve Irwin by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegar

July 28, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Helen Frost will have a new pollen book at the end of March-early April 2024 called The Mighty Pollinators. No, this is not a book and/or graphic novel about a new DC or Marvel movie of superheroes, but it is a book about the critters, insects, buggies, and even the wind, and how they make your garden, flowers, and more, grow. This is all done with fairly shorter poems that allow for the facts to be presented, but also in a fun and quick manner. […]

Hello The Wilderness

The Wilderness by Steve McCarthy

July 19, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

It is The Wilderness and our young character, Oktober Vasylenko, does not like it. The other siblings and his parents do, but he’d rather read about adventures. After all there are monsters, and bugs, and all sorts of stuff. Like The Wilderness itself. It is not a nice creature. Or is it? The father of Oktober tells him that sometimes he too is scared, but that is just what you feel, but bravery is what you do. And in an accident, Oktober is separated from […]
