The Deep and Dark Blue
Little Lion reviews the graphic novel The Deep and Dark Blue by Niki Smith.
Eyes That Kiss in the Corners
As part of my Lola’s New Year’s Day Raffle, I sent copies of Eyes That Kiss in the Corners to several of my nieces and nephews, who happen to be mixtures of white/European, Filipino, Chinese, Indonesian blood.
First Pages: Keeper of the Lost Cities
“‘Miss Foster!” Mr. Sweeney’s nasal voice cut through Sophie’s blaring music as he yanked her earbuds out by the cords. “Have you decided that you’re too smart to pay attention to this information?”
Sophie forced her eyes open. She tried not to wince as the bright fluorescents reflected off the vivid blue walls of the museum, amplifying the headache she was hiding.”

An EARLY review of Pixie Tricks: Sprite’s Secret by Tracey West.
The Library Book
“Now I like books and they like me, so when I go to the library, I sit down in my favorite chair and check to see who’s there.”
Excerpt from THE LIBRARY BOOK.
You Matter by Christian Robinson
A MUCH NEEDED message especially in the time we are living in. Two simple but powerful words: YOU MATTER
The Alpalcalypse
It’s no secret that I fell in love with Llama with his very first word: DAT!
There are many llamas out there, but no llama is quite like the llama created by duo Jonathan Stutzman (author) and Heather Fox (illustrator).
Picture Book Re-Fresh
Before my writing group meeting this morning, I grabbed a few books that I wanted to re-read today for inspiration to work on my own writing.
Aru Shah x 2
Little Lion writes a mini review of the first two Aru Shah books by Roshani Chokshi.
My Best Friend + Giveaway
My Best Friend is a self-explanatory title so on first read, I readily accept this friendship between the girls. But <SPOILER ALERT>, it’s Fogliano’s ending that makes me fall in love with the book as a whole.
In My Heart: A Book of Feelings
I first spotted In My Heart: A Book of Feelings by Jo Witek around Valentine’s Day last year. I picked it up, assuming it was a book associated with the holiday. Instead, I found a picture book so full of heart and emotion that it was overflowing.
Llama Destroys the World
Dat! Dat is my new favorite picture book! And llama.
I Like The Me I See
In our current culture, when our little ones may be learning that they might not have the right hair color, or skin tone, or nose, or clothes, or verbal skills to be accepted, I love Culture Queen’s simple but profound message: I LIKE THE ME I SEE.
