I’m not cold, just my habitat

Cold by Tim McCanna

May 31, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Cold is different for everyone. Poetry is different for everyone. And in Tim McCanna’s picture book, Cold, we get a lovely, lush illustrated book that has a story within the art as well as complimenting the text that deals with both subjects. The poetry is how the rhyming text with each page gives us a short burst of poetic information about how in cold there is life and how the cold itself is a character that moves about, leading us to the different places the […]

I Love My Fangs! by Kelly Leigh Miller

Or the things that go on in a garden that you cannot see. Follow the life of a garden in this picture book filled with goodies. For the adult reader, this book is overly simple. However, for the child reader, not only does a garden come […]
