This year has seen the loss of two great illustrators. Earlier this year the kid lit industry suffered the loss of Floyd Cooper.  Floyd Cooper explored the African-American experience through the lens of history. Through his work he hoped to recount pieces of history that were either not taught or barely taught.    He certainly achieved that with his most recent work -  Unspeakable : the Tulsa Race Massacre.  He also created affirmative  illustrations in books like The Blacker the Berry, a 2009 Coretta Scott King illustrator award winner.

You may have noticed that indie bookstores are running a campaign “everybody gets a book”. This is a philosophy the folks at Cubberley Library heartily endorse so I have come up with a few of our recent favorites. You can check out our copy or have fun shopping.

If You Come to Earth is a lovely picture book, so much so that a couple of us in Cubberley had to buy our own copies. Another fabulous picture book is I Am Every Good Thing. The author's previous book, Crown: an Ode to the Fresh Cut was fantastic and his newest title also does not disappoint.
