It is a picture book reviewing round up time! My theme is that of cultures. Of course we know the concept of “country and culture” but sometimes a culture can be something you do not immediately think of.  Yelena and Papa take care of their nipa hut and it takes care of them in Rachell Abalos’s picture book, Our Nipa Hut: A Story in the Philippines. Due in February 2024, I was lucky enough to have my book dealer send me a finished copy, as this is a book that needs […]

I wrote a review about books I read

Diary of a Wimpy Kid V15 The Deep End by Jeff Kinney

Fairylight Friends V01 A Magic Spark by Jessica Young

This time, I read the one that came in a book of the month subscription I had. I think the other copy I read was from a return the store was (unfortunately) doing. Regardless of how […]

Based on some experiences author Tina Kugler has had with […]
