Leif's Gift by Michael Wang

Do you like plants? I like plants. Now, plants on the other hand, they probably don’t like me. I had problems keeping a cactus alive. Not to mention a few of my faux plants have seen better days. But I will read books about plants and people who like plants instead. Like in Leif’s Gift by Michael Wang and illustrated by Lenny Wen. Read via an online reader, this book due in June 2025 is one you will want to preorder now as it will become […]

My books; not your books….

All the Books by Hayley Rocco

Piper, a book loving chipmunk and I have a lot in common. We are both book lovers. We have cute, chubby cheeks, we’re not keen on sharing our books, and we both love books. Did I mention that already? Well it is true. And in fact, I’m a book dragon. Well, you might call it hoarding, but I call it dragon. And I would say that Piper is a dragon, too. Only I don’t go as extreme as she does. You see, Piper loves her […]

That Egg Is Mine! A Silly Story about Sharing (Duck and Cluck) by Liz Goulet DuBois

January 18, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Duck and Cluck (a duck and a chicken) have an egg. The funny thing is it looks like Cluck with the same blue and white spots. But it looks like Duck’s bill as well (same blue and white color scheme). And both claim it to be theirs. Long story short, since Duck found it after it was lost by Cluck, it is his. But Cluck still claims they found it first. After a crazy story with crazier antics, Duck shows why it is his, but […]

An adventure of a life time (or at least for one red stroller)

The Little Red Stroller by Joshua Furst

May 28, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Little Red Stroller is a unique idea for sharing, caring, learning about community and diversity. Joshua Furst takes us on an adventure of a life time. Or at least, the life time of one special red stroller. We first see a mother holding her young baby and off in the background, a red stroller that will take mom and baby on many adventures. Then one day, they meet another family in need of a stroller, and that now-not-so young baby, tells them to take […]

Books Help Keep Kids’ Hearts Open in Fearful Times

I teach an ethics class for little kids on Sunday mornings. It’s a small group and the kids don’t come every Sunday, because lives are complicated. The group ranges in age from 3 to 9, so it can be a challenge to find things that hold their interest.

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
