“After all, the Statue of Liberty is an immigrant, too.”

Her Right Foot by Dave Eggers, Shawn Harris

July 9, 2023 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

Cbr5bingo Picture this I saw a blurb about this children’s book on July 4 and thought it sounded interesting, and it absolutely is. This is a story about the making and gifting of the Statue of Liberty. While it contains fascinating facts on every page, it is the attention to one detail — the statue’s right foot — that provides a powerful and moving message to the reader.  Her Right Foot is aimed at readers aged 5-9 and contains truly delightful art. It reminded me […]

The First Cat in Space Ate Pizza by Mac Barnett and Shawn Harris

April 5, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The First Cat in Space Ate Pizza by Mac Barnett and illustrated by Shawn Harris is a fun but bad kids jokes read. There are puns, fun, pizza, moon dust, and poetry writing/quoting worms to name a few things that this Instagram started story has. Barnett and Harris decided to take a cat (who has the great line of “meow”) through a story set on the moon. The cat is sent by some Earth scientists and generals (with interesting colloquialism) and is to stop the […]

Green on Green by Dianne White

I Believe I Can by Grace Byers

Everyone's Awake by Colin Meloy

An Ordinary Day by Elana K. Arnold

The Blue House by Phoebe Wahl

December 16, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Books come in all shapes, sizes and subjects. But the one thing that picture books have in common is they have illustrations and (usually) text. And most times both are really good. And here are five books that fit both those categories. Green on Green by Dianne White (as our author) and Felicita Sala doing those illustrations I loved.  I give this a five for some amazing illustrations. They are what makes this book out of sight! The text rhymes and is poetic. The rhyming […]
