2020 Picture Book Update

Image from my Goodreads page

I can’t believe it’s the last week of October already! This month has been flying by and that saddens me, but I’m also looking forward to all the amazing picture books coming out in the upcoming weeks! It’s the height of publishing season!

I’ve been reading quite a few picture books, as always and I’ve FINALLY finished watching Bookmarks: Celebrating Black Voices that premiered on September 1st (more information and trailer) on Netflix. PLEASE check out this amazing show! Here are the books/episodes I finished the season off with: 

Episode 7: Pretty Brown Face by Andrea Davis Pinkney and Brown Boy Joy by Thomishia Booker (Read by Jill Scott)

Episode 8: Firebird by Misty Copeland (Read by Misty Copeland)

Episode 12: We March by Shane W. Evans (Read by Marley Dias)

And, of course, I have read other books too! Here’s some favorites from the past few weeks: 

My Creepy Valentine by Arthur Howard: This book is such a wonderful crossover for Halloween and Valentine’s Day! This little witch doesn’t want to celebrate...until she finds just the right person that tugs at her creepy heartstrings! 

Good Morning Zoom by Lindsay Rechler: A parody fit for the current times of COVID-19! Take your kids on a journey of how they might be navigating the world these days with Zoom school, stay-at-home orders, and being comfortable at home! 

What have you been reading lately? I would love to hear about your reading on any of my platforms (Tumblr | Instagram | Goodreads). Until next time my reading friends - be safe and healthy out there! <3

Silo Towers at Wappingthorn Dairy Farm Steyning, West Sussex, South East England, UK; 1929-30

Maxwell Ayrton

«(…) Possibly one of the most illuminating facts to come out of these buildings is the high quality of workmanship which clearly went into producing the concrete. The standard of formwork and the control exercised over the mixing, placing and consolidation of the concrete is self-evident from the behaviour and weathering of the concrete. That the quality of the following comment contained in a letter from Sir Arthur Howard [farm owner]: “In the forty years which I have lived at Wappingthorn – and these include three years during the war when the house was requisitioned and occupied by the army – during all these years I have hardly spent a penny on structural repairs. I have from time to time made some alterations and the builders have always had to spend more time and labour in the cutting away or removal of the structure than they have in installing what was to replace it.»
