Hello Sacred Life  by Kim Krans

June 27, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I counted Hello Sacred Life has less than 35 words. Therefore, how does one write a 250-word review of the book by Kim Krans? You focus on one thing: the artwork. But first the quick review of the story. The story is not a story. It is a mantra. A meditation of sorts. You say, “Hello sacred…” and fill in with sun, earth, moon, children, water, fire, air, space, light, dark, and finally, life. The end. The artwork, on the other hand is just as simple, […]

This elephant didn’t fly but did help save a village

Bandoola: The Great Elephant Rescue by William Grill

May 27, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Bandoola: The Great Elephant Rescue has a mixture of styles. I mean, while this is a non-fiction story about James Howard Williams and an elephant name Bandoola, it is also written as a fiction story. There are facts about elephants, what they eat, etc., as well as what is used and done of the teak plantation. The story is a bit controversial as it does depict the fact elephants in Myanmar were used to harvest the teak for sale around the world. It mentions some […]

Turtles are cute, turtles are fun. And when you read about Yoshi, you’ll want one!

Yoshi and the Ocean: A Sea Turtle’s Incredible Journey Home by Lindsay Moore

May 3, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Note: If I have italicized a large amount of text, it is because it is directly from the publisher description.   Turtles are cute, turtles are fun. And when you read about Yoshi, you’ll want one! Okay, you cannot have a loggerhead turtle for several reasons, but you can learn about one special one in Yoshi and the Ocean: A Sea Turtle’s Incredible Journey Home. In this longer picture book, we follow a young turtle from the time they were caught and injured in a […]

Call her The Doctor

The Whale Who Swam Through Time: A Two-Hundred-Year Journey in the Artic by Alex Boersma and Nick Pyenson

January 19, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I have read other stories about whales who have lived for centuries, as I am sure you have, too. But what makes The Whale Who Swam Through Time: A Two-Hundred-Year Journey in the Artic so wonderful is the illustrations. The story is nice, not overly pushy but gets the point across. You know this is a story not just about a whale that could live up to over 200 years-old, but an environmental book as well.  Yet, when it comes to the art, that is […]

It’s not easy being green but the planet will love you for it!

Green Machine: The Slightly Gross Truth about Turning Your Food Scraps Into Green Energy by Rebecca Donnelly

July 3, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The first cbr12bingo book for me is GREEN Who knew that when I was looking at reader copies, Green Machine: The Slightly Gross Truth about Turning Your Food Scraps Into Green Energy would not only be a book that would talk about being green and environmental issues but would be a “green” book! Green Machine is a clever book about recycling and how what goes around, comes around in an illuminating manner. Rebecca Donnelly talks how the cycle starts by buying the food that we eat, […]

The Noor Solar Power Plant in Morocco’s Sahara Desert is pretty bada$$

Solar Story: How One Community Lives Alongside the World’s Biggest Solar Plant by Allan Drummond

May 22, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

While the format of the story might be a little awkward for some (there is the story, along with thought and comment bubbles from the characters, plus sidebars) Solar Story: How One Community Lives Alongside the World’s Biggest Solar Plant is a must have for every classroom. Allan Drummond’s teaching of environmentalism, sustainability, solar power and even a bit about Morocco is as pleasant of a read as it is informational. And do not stop just because you hit the author note, there is still […]
