Tod Robbins reviewed When Stars Are Scattered by Victoria Jamieson
Incredibly real and moving
5 stars
Life has a randomness to it, but it also has many paths that become illuminated in their own times. I highly recommend this graphic novel.
Part field guide, part history, part ornithology primer, and altogether fun.
Fact: Pigeons are amazing, …
Misunderstood birds made known
4 stars
A very fun read with lots of gorgeous and hilarious illustrations. Lots of interesting historical and cultural connections I had never heard of before.
I definitely see pigeons differently after reading this one.
Tod Robbins reviewed On the Horizon by Lois Lowry
Beautiful and terrifying reflections on Lowry's time in Hawaii and Japan as a child and teen
5 stars
I was deeply moved by the descriptions of humanity and the way Lowry tries to unify and distinguish human experience.
Kenard Pak's illustrations are also the perfect pairing to Lowry's sparse descriptive prose.
