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 […]

Mangonificent tale

Farah Loves Mangos by Sarthak Sinha

January 18, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport Different Countries (author is from India & his travels have taken him “from the tropical rainforests to the high Himalayas where he makes children’s books from his tiny studio.”) This book, Farah Loves Mangos, has multiple feelings, but in the end, it becomes a little bittersweet. At first it seems like a lovely story of a young girl, her mangos, and her grandfather. I assumed we would have a symbolism story where the mango tree represents the grandfather, or how the tree is the […]

Move over Tiny Rex! The Big Predators are in town!

Mega-Predators of the Past by Melissa Stewart

January 3, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

“Dinosaurs? What is that? Something you put ointment on?” You will say after reading, Mega-Predators of the Past. Those (as the book says, but honestly, I agree with) scene stealing dinosaurs are nothing compared to the real predators of history. From the smallest (great scorpions and griffenflies (a really large dragonfly-like being) at 28 inches) to the largest (the over 100-foot blue whale) you will see the great creatures. Melissa Stewart gives us as it was. Or, in the case of the blue whale, how […]

Imagination & Play Andrew’s way

Up Where the Stars Are (Andrew's Adventures in Nature by Ryan Jacobson

December 14, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I started reading this on Edelweiss online. It was a medium sized sample, but I think I got enough to know that I enjoyed this book and when it comes out, I want to see more of Up Where the Stars Are (Andrew’s Adventures in Nature). The story is centered around Andrew, a young man with special needs. His situation is not the focus, or what he cannot do, but what he can do. The part of the story I was able to read was […]

Hello Moon, It’s me!

hello, moon by Evan Turk

December 8, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I thought that hello, moon was going to be something sappy. Now, I do not mind something sweet, but when it is sappy sugary? I am not as quick to like it. However, Evan Turk’s picture book was sweet but not over the top. Oh, sure we have a little kid saying Hello to the Moon, but honestly, who has not done that at least once? And it is countered by the fact that not only are you having an emotional moment between child and […]

Messages of light

Light Speaks by Christine Layton

November 22, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Light Speaks is created by Christine Layton and Luciana Navarro Powell (illustrations). The publication date is early April 2023. I had the pleasure of reading an advanced readers copy via Edelweiss. It is classified as Juvenile Nonfiction, Science & Nature, and Astronomy. It is a simple book but includes pieces of information that you may not realize. And it is all done in a prose poetic manner. This picture book combines the science of light and simplified it for most ages. It allows us to […]

  • narfna on We are women without a voice…We are women out of time and place, without even the language of the country we reside in.Everything I hear about this makes me want to read it more. I've heard the audio is great, that's probably the route I'll go.
