I’ve honestly lost track how many times I have read one and hope I can repeat it with the other title

The Tree in Me by Corinna Luyken

Hello, Ocean! by Corinna Luyken

May 15, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Honestly, I have lost track of how many times I have read The Tree in Me by Corinna Luyken. I know I have read it at least once via an online reader and one reading of the finished book, but I am sure it has been more. In fact, it could be up to four or five times. And this is because I forget I read it, but as soon as I do I remember, I remember it was a pleasure to read each time. […]

I like Trash… recycled sustainably

Team Trash: A Time Traveler’s Guide to Sustainability by Kate Wheeler

November 17, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When I was reading Team Trash: A Time Traveler’s Guide to Sustainability I took a lot of notes, as there were A LOT of details. Things from literally Pompeii to 2021-2022 and how they all relate to sustainability, environmentalism, and the good, the bad, and the really smelly. Kate Wheeler’s story is more than just an environmental story. It shows friendships and how we can work together, get the job done, and learn how the good, the bad and the ugly, or The Pig, the […]

Slightly unknown and unknow critters

Animals in Surprising Shades: Poems About Earth’s Colorful Creatures by Susan Johnston Taylor

Not a Monster by Claudia Guadalupe Martinez

Nudi Gill: Poison Powerhouse of the Sea by Bonnie Kelso

October 30, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

There was a picture book reading marathon with my saved online reader copies the other day. I chose a dozen or so to review and about as many to not review. It wasn’t completely easy to choose, however, the below titles were the easiest choices I have made since the day I learned of a health condition I had. And that was so easy, I don’t even remember doing it! If you want a fantastic book with levels that allows for multiple interests and ages […]
