People let me tell you ’bout my best friend

Stick and Stone Explore and More. by Beth Ferry

Simon and Chester V02 Super Sleepover by Cale Atkinson

February 10, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport Other country (Simon & Chester author from British Columbia) Two cute stories for the at least five and up crowd found their way to my reading table the other day. I was looking for something quick, and they seem to fit the bill. The first was Stick and Stone Explore and More. This book by Beth Ferry is at least the second in a series. The adult reader should be fine picking it up but do find the introduction story for the kiddos! Mostly […]

It’s the end of the day and I can’t come up with a good title so, here it is….

Remember by Joy Harjo

Jake Makes a World: Jacob Lawrence, a Young Artist in Harlem by Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts

February 3, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The theme of the review: Cool books you need on your shelves to read. And  CBR15Passport, new to me author(s) (but I know one artist) When you pick up Remember by Joy Harjo you will find a poetic piece of artwork. Michaela Goade adds to this by painting imagery that is bold, bright, deep, romantic, serious, and light. The mixture of the text and illustrations gives a story of family, the individuality, and the authors Mvskoke Nation heritage. It is a celebration of looking around […]

Opposite in nature

Gray Fox in the Moonlight by Isaac Peterson

The Garden Next Door by Collin Pine

February 2, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I probably should have put Gray Fox in the Moonlight with another book I reviewed due to their similarities of spiritualism but decided to pair it with The Garden Next Door as they are complete opposites. One (Gray Fox) is a soft, lullaby about the fox wandering the forest at night. It deals with nature, but at natures level. The other, (Garden) is loud and bold filled with much activity and critters of all shapes, sizes, and leg count. Isaac Peterson brings Gray Fox in […]

Mycology

Mason Goes Mushrooming by Melany Kahn

December 14, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Today I do not like mushrooms. Yesterday I was not crazy about them. But ask me tomorrow and I might have changed my mind. You see, mushrooms are one of those foods that I must be in the mood for. But our hero in Mason Goes Mushrooming (by the way, his name is Mason), loves mushrooms year around. And there is nothing wrong with that. And if you are like Mason, you should read Melany Kahn’s picture book and learn about the different mushrooms and […]

Golden: The Power of Silence in a World of Noise by Justin Zorn, Leigh Marz

November 28, 2022 by Halbs Leave a Comment

Golden articulates the zietgeisty feeling that our world and our minds are too daggum noisy. We need less less less, and we need things to quiet down. In this book, authors Zorn and Marz diagnose the problem, look at the benefits of silence, and then provide examples of how to bring more silence into our environment. By environment, I mean internal, communal, and global. First, what is silence? The authors make the point from the very beginning that silence isn’t the absence of noise so […]

And I had such high hopes

Swamp Thing: Twin Branches by Maggie Stiefvater

October 18, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When I first heard of Swamp Thing: Twin Branches I figured it was going to be how the human who is to be Swamp thing became ST like the TV show of the 1980’s. (Good camp, bad everything else.) And like many of the DC graphic novels, Maggie Stiefvater was going to have a teen boy come of age and then, turn into part of nature. I thought it was going to be bittersweet but still nice. Afterall, I always thought that this creature was […]
