Change Is in the Air: The Hidden Discoveries of Eunice Newton Foote, the First Climate Scientist by Rebecca Donnelly and Mercè López

December 10, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

My review is: Just read Change Is in the Air: The Hidden Discoveries of Eunice Newton Foote, the First Climate Scientist by Rebecca Donnelly and illustrator Mercè López, okay? Well, unless you get an online reader copy like I had, you do have to wait until mid-February to do so, but that still does not mean you need me to tell you all about the wonderful things about Eunice Newton Foote. Like how she, during a time when few people let alone women, had a […]

May 19, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Do you know what a Riddle-ku is? Learn all about them (and so much more) in this far out book of American haiku and riddles. Lion of the Sky: Haiku for All Seasons reads like a story and is all around A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!  (add a few more !!! there). Laura Purdie Salas created poems that show the season it represents in a new way. We do not just see “leaves” for fall or “snow” for winter, but other creatures, ideas and feelings that we associate with […]

    Oh no, this is tragic. I wasn't aware her husband had died either.
