As someone who loves the color purple, I found this book to be fascinating.
The thing I loved about this book was Henry Perkin's "failure". While he may have failed at the experiment he was trying, he succeeded in ways he never even dreamed of. He made the color purple accessible to everyone - not just the rich and powerful. And he systematically tested his hypothesis in a way that was brand new to the scientific community - allowing others to reproduce his experiments and get the same results.As someone who loves the color purple, I found this book to be fascinating.

What a fun book! This is a great pick for a toddler or preschooler that loves vehicles and/ or animals. The animals are adorable and their sounds help propel the story in unexpected ways.

I loved this book before I even read it! Like the main character, I was often asked the rude question, "what are you?" by people curious about my race. As I got older, I tried to have fun with the answer while hopefully educating the asker of their rude choice of words. My default answer became "American". This is the book I wish I had as a child to share with everyone who ever asked me that question.I loved this book before I even read it!

These seventeen updated nursery rhymes are great for girls and boys! Perhaps all the king's horses and all the king's men were incapable of helping Humpty Dumpty, but the doctor isn't. Check out these newer rhymes for modern times.

Some books want to be read and have no problem admitting it. They practically jump off the shelf, into your hands, and shout “Read Me!” Root Magic by Eden Royce is one of those books for me. As someone who has read a lot of fantasy books that deal with magic, I can tell you that this one is different. It is written by an author from the Gullah-Geechee nation. Never heard of it? I hadn't until I read this book.
The story is set in 1963 along the South Carolina coast. Jezebel and her twin brother Jay are 10 years old and are mourning the loss of their grandmother, who was a traditional rootworker of magic in the community. Rootwork stems from the African continent and has been passed down through generations of families. Jezebel and Jay begin their training in rootwork almost immediately after their grandmother is buried. Their mother finally relents and lets their uncle begin training them after the deputy comes to terrorize the family, just because he can. This is Eden Royce’s first novel and she does a wonderful job of blending fantasy and historical fiction to create a story as unique as the culture from which it stems.Some books want to be read and have no problem admitting it.

Looking for an adventure story? Maybe something funny? Or maybe you are interested in a story steeped in Hindu mythology? If so, this is the book for you. Aru Shah may have many flaws, but she certainly didn't mean to cause the end of the world. And even though she may be stuck trying to save it while still wearing her Spiderman pajamas, she is going to do her best to try. I highly recommend listening to the audio version of this book.

A hopeful book for dark times. It offers a rhyming reminder that rainbows need rain to exist and night always comes before daybreak. The artwork is stunning and I loved the brown skinned girl with her fox friend.

I thoroughly enjoyed this feel good movie about a Pakistani British teen, Javed, finding his way in the world. The film is written and directed by Gurinder Chadha, who also wrote and directed Bend It like Beckham. As a Jersey Girl who grew up hearing Bruce Springsteen on the radio on a daily basis, I never gave his music much thought until I became a teenager and really started listening to his lyrics, or poetry. The Boss helps Javed find his voice and take a stand in his world against racists in his town as well as his own family (who think they know what's best for him). You may not have to be a lover of Bruce Springsteen's music to enjoy this movie. If you are a Boss fan however, and you have not yet seen this movie, do yourself a favor and watch it. You will be reminded why you love The Boss and share in the joy of a great story set to musical poetry.I thoroughly enjoyed this feel good movie about a Pakistani British teen, Javed, finding his way in the world.

Seven little foxes go to listen to the storyteller late at night in the Antler Wood and one by one return home rather than listen to all of the scary stories. All except one little fox - who stays the whole night. This is a very suspenseful book with lots of creepiness to get your spine tingling. It's also a wonderful story about love, friendship, and overcoming adversity. I highly recommend this Newbery Honor book (2020) for any age reader who likes creepy stories.Seven little foxes go to listen to the storyteller late at night in the Antler Wood and one by one return home rather than listen to all of the scary stories.

While I am not a huge fan of bible stories, I really enjoyed this book! I checked it out, because I love Jane Yolen’s other works. The book is written for children and has nine chapters – covering fourteen women. Each chapter has the main story, an imagination piece from the perspective of the woman or women, a poem (or two), and sidebars with more details about the Bible and other characters. While I was most fascinated by my own namesake, I enjoyed learning about other ancient women as well.While I am not a huge fan of bible stories, I really enjoyed this book!
