Diverseness for the younger crowd.

Rainbow: A First Book of Pride by Michael Genhart

Hair Twins by Raakhee Mirchandani

January 17, 2023 by BlackRaven 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 […]

The Witches of Silverlake Volume One by Simon Curtis

January 17, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am not familiar with the author or illustrator of this graphic novel but was familiar with Legendary Comics YA the publisher with the reading of Championess by Kelly Zekas making this my second CBR15Passport author unknown. The Witches of Silverlake Volume One is a 3.5 rating but rounded up to a four as there is potential and it is not really a 3. However, there are a few bumps where things do not flow smoothly and/or jump to “the next scene” without warning, or […]

Getting to know you

Jacob's School Play: Starring He, She, and They by Ian and Sarah Hoffman

January 6, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

We have dealt with what clothes one can wear, and what bathroom we should use, now we are dealing with people and their pronouns in Jacob’s School Play: Starting He, She, and They by Ian and Sarah Hoffman. Jacob’s classroom is putting on a play, and in typical kid fashion we have the “I am excited I am going to be this character” and the “You are a sheep. No ram. But isn’t a ram just a male sheep?” conversation. And the “He has three […]

Gilbert Baker and a Grand ol’ Flag

Sewing the Rainbow: A Story about Gilbert Baker by Gayle E. Pitman

January 6, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Sewing the Rainbow: A Story about Gilbert Baker is good introduction for older children. Baker was a young man who lived in a gray world, especially after his art supplies and drawings were taken from him. He was a young man that was drafted, but who would not shoot a gun no matter what names he was called. And he was a man who knew how to put his glittery, wonderful, colorful self out there. And how to represent the community he was part of. […]

My cup of books overflows

When You Look Out the Window: How Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin Built a Community by Gayle E. Pitman

This Day in June by Gayle E. Pitman

They're So Flamboyant by Michael Genhart

January 6, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was browsing an online catalog and found several titles on GLBTQ+ themes.  Some had a few pages to sample the goodies inside, but others had full text. I have picked a few and will be doing more in another review, but three per review should probably be a limit, otherwise your eyes will pop out at all the goodness in one place and not able to read! When You Look Out the Window: How Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin Built a Community by Gayle E. […]

Watch out Scooby Gang, there’s a new team in town

Goldie Vance The Hotel Whodunit by Lilliam Rivera

Goldie Vance volume 1 by Hope Larson

December 12, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I read the Goldie Vance novel, The Hotel Whodunit, before the graphic novel Goldie Vance volume 1 (though based on the comics) because the novel was due before the graphic novel at the library. However, I do not think I would have liked or disliked any differently if I had read in reverse. Both stories are a combination of Nancy Drew, Harriet the Spy and (from what I understand), Veronica Mars. I also got a bit of Archie Comics, along with a dash of the […]
