Hitting you in the feels

The Wishing Balloons by Jonathan D. Voss

Where Butterflies Fill the Sky: A Story of Immigration, Family, and Finding Home by Zahra Marwan

September 24, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When I do a picture book review post I try and put the same theme together. Does not always work of course, but this time, I am putting together two books that gave feels. Or will give feels to the reader. Both books have a message, are soft but strong and know how to tug at the ol’ emotions. In many ways, we have seen these messages to distractions. It is their illustrations that give them fresh tones. The Wishing Balloons is a thoughtful and […]

Silly ole Bear

Christopher Robin: A Boy, A Bear, A Balloon by Brittany Rubiano

July 5, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

June 26, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Brave Enough for Two (a Hoot and Olive book) has allusions to Winnie the Pooh. It is a soft, classically toned story written and illustrated by Jonathan D. Voss. This time, instead of Christopher Robin and Pooh, we have Olive and Hoot. Olive is the type of girl who likes adventures in books and Hoot is the type of stuffed owl who likes the “go out and have” adventures. And just like Pooh Bear and Christopher Robin, they go out into the world and have […]
