Last Week in Books:
I read quite a few picture books this week, but these are the four that were most interesting. You Might Find Yourself is done with collage and shows the different places and situations that one might find themself. School Days is a photographic collection of the daily activities of children at a school. I liked it because it seems like a great mentor text for a class to share about their day. Dads is another photo collection and this one shows the many ways dads interact with their families and how they may move through their days. There is a wide variety of cultures and ethnicities represented. I Sang You Down from the Stars is a gorgeous and loving book about what an Indigenous mother does to prepare for her new child. The author and illustrator are both Indigenous.
I read and enjoyed the middle grade fantasy The Time of Green Magic for a book club I am in. Again for escape reading, I also read an adult romance - How to Fail at Flirting.
The Coming Week:
I'm still listening to Chlorine Sky and I am still reading the four books above Straight from the Horse's Mouth, Sisters of the Neversea, The Collected Works of Audre Lorde, and Cultivating Genius. Have a great week!
I Sang You Down from the Stars sounds lovely. Will look for that!
ReplyDeleteAll of these books sound excellent, especially I Sang You Down from the Stars and The Time of Green Magic! Thanks for the great post!
ReplyDeleteI am so looking forward to I Sang You Down from the Stars. Tasha Spillett wrote the Surviving the City graphic novel series that I loved. This one sounds much less traumatic.
ReplyDeleteI was pleasantly surprised by The Time of Green Magic. It was my first Hilary McKay book, but I've always wanted to read her Casson Family series (Elisabeth raves over it). Sorry for my belated visit, this week. I'll be checking in with you again very soon! :)
