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 […]

If you’re Happy and you know it

Happy Right Now by Julie Berry

November 14, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Happy Right Now is one of those books you need to be “in the mood” for. Its sweet sentiment can actually be overly sweet or just the right amount of sweet depending on how you are feeling. If you are in a “bad mood” this book could make things better by helping you practice the “live in the moment” message. And your mood will improve, and you should become a big fan of the story. However, if you are in that “nothing can make it […]

To Build or Not to…. Nah! Just to Build!

In Made by Maxine by Ruth Spiro

Builder Brothers: Big Plans by Jonathan and Drew Scott

June 26, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

In reverse alphabetical order, this review covers two different books about building, about trying and not giving up. In Made by Maxine by Ruth Spiro, we see our heroine trying to figure out how to make things bigger and better. When she gets a pet fish (who she thinks is waving at her), she builds it the biggest, funniest, craziest fish tank as the bowl she had for him was just too dull. And how proud both are of it! That is until the class […]

Oh boy! Oh boy!

Dear Boy by Paris Rosenthal

May 23, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I do not remember reading mother and daughter Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Paris Rosenthal’s collaboration Dear Girl. But if I had, it obviously did not make much of an impression. Therefore, I was unsure what to exactly expect from daughter and father collaborators, Paris and Jason Rosenthal’s Dear Boy. Though, I had my suspicions. And basically, what came out of my reading of Dear Boy was exactly what I was expecting: a sentimental, modern, touchy-feely and obvious book. It is a “make yourself a kinder, […]
