What a marvelous place to explore

Bompa’s Insect Expedition (David Suzuki Institute) by David Suzuki

April 11, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport country I had never heard of anyone calling their grandfather Bompa. Or at least not since I did it with one grandfather (though I went to calling them both grandpa after a spell). That might be the reason I wanted to read Bompa’s Insect Expedition (David Suzuki Institute). And probably why I liked it. Though it is a fun book, too. The grandfather in the story takes his grandchildren out and about on adventures and this book covers the different goodies nature has. But […]

Tanya Lloyd Kyi has a sweet story about science and even a little about imagination. Yes, it says it […]

A weekend and a lunch read

Origin of a Hero (She-Ra Chapter Book #1) by Tracey West

What Will I Discover by Tanya Lloyd Kyi

December 19, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Two books that found their way to my reading pile were a middle reader chapter book and a short, but ultimately fascinating picture book. While they are both radically different and not exactly completely available (She-Ra looks like it is out of print and the picture book is due May 2023) they are ones that made a weekend a little less unproductive, and a lunch less solo. Origin of a Hero (She-Ra Chapter Book #1) by Tracey West (illustrations by Amanda Schank) is a short […]
