Diverseness for the younger crowd.

Rainbow: A First Book of Pride by Michael Genhart

Hair Twins by Raakhee Mirchandani

by Leave a Comment

What do you do when you want to show diverseness to your child, but they are not ready for some big, non-fiction encyclopedic knowledge book? You grab a picture book. And the below titles are perfectly diverse in that fun picture format. Rainbow: A First Book of Pride was originally from 2019. Therefore, it is just an introduction to the rainbow flag with none of the “extras” we see today. It is a way to show how the GLBTQ+ community is not separate, but part of […]

I need merchandise to go with my books!

Cursed Princess Club Volume One by Lambcat

Cursed Princess Club Volume Two by Lambcat

by Leave a Comment

Cursed Princess Club Volume One created by Lambcat is a WebToons special. In January 2023 volumes one and two (the summer of 2023) will be (hopefully) published in a physical format (as long as there are no broken-down trucks, snowstorms, printing issues, or acts of the Great Spaghetti Monster). When the King of the Pastel Kingdom wakes his children in the morning, one is sleeping in the flowers that grows wherever she is, one has birds and critters brushing her hair, one is delighting and sparkling […]

Playing for keeps

Trigger by N. Griffin

by Leave a Comment

Trigger is a disturbing look at child abuse and the toxicity of one family, and how the one person who is supposed to help you can be the one person who you fear the most. The life of our narrator is set up so that when an answer is given, three more questions occur. And yes, there are literally trigger warnings due to the language, violence, and implications some scenes present.  And the scary part is some of what N. Griffin writes about is pulled […]

Brush up on your graphic novels

Primer by Jennifer Muro

by Leave a Comment

My go-to for when I do not think I can write 250 words for a review is I start brainstorming, writing things down. And I will do that with Primer by Jennifer Muro and Thomas Krajewski. I have had a copy of Primer since goodness knows when. However, I misplaced it. Therefore, when I was browsing the local library website, I said, “Go for it. Just get it.” I am not 10 years old. At least, physically. Mentally, however, I should be right there with […]

I need to make friends with the author to get updates on this new series

Realm of the Blue Mist (The Rema Chronicles, #1) by Amy Kim Kibuishi

by Leave a Comment

Realm of the Blue Mist (The Rema Chronicles, #1) is a familiar fantasy, but this first in a series has new twists and turns to the action we all know and love when it comes to magical tales. There are the warring nations, an “Us vs. Them” (The “Good Guys” vs. The “Bad Guys”), magic, little romance (in a most chaste manner, the most exciting thing is they hold hands!) and a bit of action. There is mystery, Godfathers in their late 30s who look […]

Old fashion feel to a book of today

Sweeping Up the Heart by Kevin Henkes

by Leave a Comment

Sweeping Up the Heart is a cute little book by Kevin Henkes. Known mostly for his picture books, he has created some lovely middle reader novels. However, the adult reader will realize that they have seen the subject, the message, before. This is not fresh, but for the aged 8 to 10 (or even up to a younger 12) it is a nice story of change and friendship. The subject centers around loss (via death and divorce), friendships (new and old), family, and love. Our […]
