The book that was read to me

The Christmas Snow Globe by Sibylle Delacroix

December 19, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I had the opportunity to have The Christmas Snow Globe by Sibylle Delacroix “read” to me via a YouTube video. However, I have read it before (both  times I am assuming via an online reader). Both times I felt the story was sweet, funny and cute. However, the adult me isn’t a fan of sledding down the stairs! The kid me wonders where can I find a sled?  It is hard to talk about it, unless I tell you the story. Two children are waiting […]

Picture books! Picture books! Take a look!

Night Flight by David Barclay Moore and Briana Mukodiri Uchendu

One Diwali Day: Festivals of the World by Dev Kothari and Aditi Anand

Picture books! Picture books! Here give ‘em a look. Night Flight by David Barclay Moore and illustrated by Briana Mukodiri Uchendu (due late September/early October 2025) Why talk about a book so far out? Because it is something that will be worth the wait. It is a lovely illustrated bedtime story that is sweet, inclusive and modern. The use of a prehistoric animal we do not usually get is a nice touch as well. We have a same sex couple of dads, and the family […]

I had more images I wanted to add, but ran out of space

A Party for Florine: Florine Stettheimer and Me by Yevgenia Nayberg.

January 2, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

For Christmas 2024 one of my gifts was a glass drink-jar from my nephew and his family. It is cute and great for the grand aunt of yesteryear. Except I’m more of a fun flower on a cool simple skull girl and not all pretty flowers. But it does have books and the saying There Is No Such Thing as too many books. And that I do agree with. And I also agree you can’t have too many online reader copies, you just need to […]
