Ode to the Game

Queen of Day by Jacob Sager Weinstein and Victo Ngai

September 22, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Every so often I find a book that has a lot of great pieces to its puzzle, yet, I am not sure if I am the audience it is meant to be for. And Queen of Day by Jacob Sager Weinstein and illustrator Victo Ngai is one of those books. The illustrations are lovely, the story interesting, there is a positive flow that is thoughtful and clever. But something is missing. I would say it is adventurous, mysterious, reflective and medium-paced. The grandfather and granddaughter […]

I’ve never had a lox and bagel burp, but I’m assuming it’s not pleasant, but this book was!

I'm Sorry for the Bagel Burps: A Yom Kippur Apology by Jacob Sager Weinstein and Jason Kirschner

December 10, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Finally a realistic story about siblings that is saying, “Are you really being that naughty?” and “That is kinda funny.” I’m Sorry for the Bagel Burps: A Yom Kippur Apology by Jacob Sager Weinstein and Jason Kirschner (illustrations by) might not be out until September 2026, but you can appreciate this review (or at least I hope). Benji and his older brother  Aaron, have the perfect sibling relationship: they obviously love each other. Love to tease each other that is. And when Yom Kippur rolls […]

What Rosa Brought by Jacob Sager Weinstein

Come and Join Us!: 18 Holidays Celebrated All Year Long by Liz Kleinrock

Once Upon a Sari by Zenia Wadhwani

October 18, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Recently I posted on my Facebook page a couple images from books I was promoting that day. One was a book I had posted here before, The Night Before Eid: A Muslim Family Story, by Aya Khalil and the other What Rosa Brought by Jacob Sager Weinstein. Considering current events, I wanted to promote love, positivity and acceptance.  And I cannot think of two better books to show this. Except maybe Once Upon a Sari by Zenia Wadhwani. Or Come and Join Us! 18 Holidays […]
