Abigail the Whale by Davide Cali
CBR15Passport book set another country: Davide Cali is a Swiss-born Italian and book was originally in French I had forgotten I had requested Abigail the Whale when I received the email saying it was on hold for me at the library. Why did I request this book? I remembered when I saw the cover. Oh, yes, this was the book about body image. Now where did I see it again? That did not matter as I quickly realized this is a book that it […]
Zara’s Big Messy Playdate by Rebekah Borucki
Zara's Big Messy Goodbye by Rebekah Borucki
Zara's Big Messy Day by Rebekah Borucki
Zara's Big Messy Bedtime by Rebekah Borucki
I never know what I will find when I browse catalogs (in hand or online). Recently I found (on Edelweiss) Zara’s Big Messy Books. These books are currently available, but I had them as reader copies, so there are a few “missing” pieces, such as I am not sure of the size of them, and I think that might affect some of the readers willingness to read. I was unfamiliar with the author, so it is the perfect author for CBR15Passport. Rebekah Borucki has […]
I Like You: An Encouraging Bedtime Book (Positive Affirmations for Kids) by Kate Allen
I like Kate Allen of TheLatestKate fame. Their books, journals, and daily affirmations are just what one needs every so often. Sometimes they can be a bit sugary, but they are always what they are: One person who has been there hoping to help you with words that could shine a little light on the situation. And with I Like You: An Encouraging Bedtime Book (Positive Affirmations for Kids) kids can get in on the action. Everything is sweet and simple. Colors are bright and there […]
Sometimes I Feel…: A Menagerie of Feelings Big and Small by Sarah Maycock
Sometimes I Feel…: A Menagerie of Feelings Big and Small in many ways is not a children’s book. Or just not a children’s book. Sarah Maycock’s idea of the feelings we have (as timid as a mouse; brave as a lion) might seem simple on the surface but there is something deeper and that is where the adult book comes in. Therefore, this is for everyone and anyone. Maycock took something that feels easy and simple, feelings, and twists it on its head. Yes, you […]
Marker by Anna Kang
Today’s lunch was a small croissant with a little chicken curry inside and picture book reading. And one of those was Marker by Anna Kang and illustrated by Christopher Weyant. This short picture book is a due in mid/late June (which seems an odd time) as it is about the first day and the first few days of school. Marker is a proud member of Teacher’s crew. And they are always there, ready to make their permanent mark on things. But during the writing of […]
The Seasons Within Me by Bianca Pozzi
I am mostly sure I have read The Seasons Within Me before. I do not, however, think I have reviewed Bianca Pozzi’s story before. This book was read via Edelweiss and due April 2023 Now, even if I have reviewed this book before, I was in a different frame of mind. It is a few days before Christmas, I am trying to keep my happy on (why I have a bowl of Grinch poo on my desk), and I was in a mood where though […]
