Review: Windows By Guest & Bentley

We all wish this pandemic was over. And we all definitely thought it would be by now. But even as cases creep up yet again in so many places around the world, we’re all still navigating this time and it’s hard to put into words all the emotions these past two years continue to bring. Enter lovely books like this one. A story about the distance we all have kept and occasionally are still needing to keep each other safe. A story about missing people, missing familiar sights and faces, and how we will celebrate together when it is finally behind us. Take a look at Windows by Patrick Guest, illustrated by Jonathan Bentley, 2020.

Review: Saturday At The Food Pantry By O’Neill & Magro

This book caught my eye for many reasons: the cute illustrations, the striking color palette, and the food pantry concept. You don’t see that often in picture books. It is a sweet book, immensely sensitive and understanding of a difficult subject. Take a look at Saturday at the Food Pantry by Diane O’Neill, illustrated by Brizida Magro, 2021.

Review: Time Is A Flower By Julie Morstad

Is there any doubt that I would be off to grab the newest Julie Morstad book as quickly as possible? It didn’t disappoint. I don’t know how Morstad does it every time. This book is a marvelous story about time with many sidenotes and connections from a very thoughtful and childlike mind. Ponder time along with Time Is A Flower by Julie Morstad, 2021.

Review: Our Skin By Madison, Ralli, & Roxas

Excited to share a really helpful book about skin color and race that is done just so excellently well! It’s been out about a year and I had heard so many good things, I was thrilled to finally see it for myself and share it. A beautiful book that explains simply but scientifically how skin color occurs and how socially and historically it has been misused and misconstrued to divide and cause harm. This book covers a lot without overwhelming or being heavy-handed. Check out Our Skin by Megan Madison, Jessica Ralli, & Isabel Roxas, 2021.
