It's Snowing Review"It's a dark dark, cold cold night. Mama rocks the cradle. The cradle rocks Baby. Baby softly sleeps. Mama sighs and nods her head. Baby sighs and sucks his thumb..." And then Mama notices the first flakes dancing down from the sky. "It's snowing!" Mama sings. Baby wakes and blinks. "Baby, it's snowing!" She bundles him up, scrunches into her coat, scarf, and mittens, and "trundles" outside to revel in her baby's first snowfall. She wants her son to experience it all, see the snow, hear it, taste it, feel it, and even smell it. They build a snow troll, sled together down the big hill, and ride their big ice bear. But now it's time to go back inside their warm house and back to sleep..... Olivier Dunrea's simple, spare, poetic text is heartwarming and engaging. But it's his evocative and expressive illustrations that really bring this endearing story to life, and children will be mesmerized by his beautiful and playful winter wonderland scenes. Perfect for preschoolers, It's Snowing is a joyful treasure the whole family can share, that captures the wonder and excitement of a first snowfall.It's Snowing Overview

Ninth Ward ReviewIn a novel for younger readers, Jewel Parker Rhodes tells the story of thirteen-year-old Lanesha, a girl who lives in New Orleans' Ninth Ward pre-Katrina with a grandmotherly lady she calls Mama Ya-Ya. The relationship between elderly woman and child, while not of blood, is one bound in spirit and love. With her roots in the old voodoo ways, Mama Ya-Ya combines a nurturing presence with the wisdom of her years; in fact, it was Mama Ya-Ya who delivered Lanesha when the girl's mother died in childbirth. As well as Mama Ya-Ya, it isn't uncommon for Lanesha to see ghosts, among them her mother, and others who wander the streets of New Orleans, a city with a particularly rich cultural history. As Katrina approaches, Mama Ya-Ya senses something more than a storm, though her weary soul cannot see clearly what is ahead. As the old lady dreams, Lanesha takes over, preparing for the hurricane, boarding windows, preparing food.
There is an almost allegorical sense of the old giving way to the new in this poignant tale, albeit with an uncertain future. An avid student who dreams of building bridges, Lanesha's curiosity is insatiable, but it is her compassion and bravery that will inspire young readers, the spiritual ties between generations and the capacity to entertain the extraordinary. The author clearly loves this city and its wealth of history and stories, however it may have been damaged by Katrina and its shameful aftermath. And she writes with the same fluid grace and turn of phrase that has distinguished her adult novels. Lanesha's world may have changed with Katrina's devastation, but she is truly a child of Mama Ya-Ya's heart, buoyed by her appetite to taste the world and her appreciation of others, real or imagined. Luan Gaines/2010.

Snook Alone ReviewThis is it--this librarian's pick for the Caldecott Medal. This is not a book for really young children--it has lots of text, and the language is beautiful and poetic and challenging. The illustrations (especially of the dog Snook in motion, and close-ups of his face full of longing for his friend the monk) are breathtaking.Snook Alone Overview

Clouds (Ready-to-Read, Level 1) ReviewI purchased Wind, Rain, Clouds and Snow. Wonderful short science books and very easy for young readers. My 5 year old twins love to read their 'science' books. It is difficult to find simple non fiction books for this age group, but these are perfect fit.Clouds (Ready-to-Read, Level 1) Overview

Bond of Brothers: Connecting with Other Men Beyond Work, Weather and Sports ReviewI have had my fill of self help books. I am totally done with any book that offers "Twelve, Ten, Nine or Three Steps" to anything. And honestly, I really don't want to go out and buy another 'Christian' book, sorry. A friend gave me this book. One night I was bored and picked it up and started to read it hoping I would doze off after a few pages. Two days later my wife had to ask me why I couldn't put "that book" down. I had to say because "This guy is being honest...about everything..everything he says is true." Then I couldn't stop 'gushing' she said. She snuck it away from me when I was re-reading it for the third time and read it herself. Yoder nails it...us. In "Bond of Brothers", he has said all the things we wouldn't say, couldn't say or thought we shouldn't say. As men, especially, he confesses what we all felt. Nobody prepared us for this. My dad never even broached some of these subjects. It was like I was somehow just supposed to know these things about life, relationships, God, my identity and how to relate to my wife and sons and I was the only man who didn't know the 'secret.' It turns out that I'm not the only one. I don't want to 'gush', but where was this book forty years ago? Now I've bought several copies and given them away. My sons, my friends and any man who comes to me with needs or looking for advice or just going through rough times have and will receive "Bond of Brothers." There is no formula here. There is no easy fix. But there is truth. Written from the heart. And that, my brother is rare indeed.Bond of Brothers: Connecting with Other Men Beyond Work, Weather and Sports Overview
