Two Artists, Grandad and Me

by Charnelle Pinkney Barlow

Doubleday Books for Young Readers, 2026. 28 pages.
Review written February 20, 2026, from a library book.
Starred Review

This is a sweet picture book about a little girl and her artist grandfather, and the joy she found making art with him in his studio, and how he’d gently guide her.

What makes it extra special is that this girl’s grandfather was the wonderful Jerry Pinkney – an amazing creator of children’s books, Caldecott Medalist, and a kind human being. (Yes, I’ve met him and heard him speak a few times. The man radiated goodness.)

This book pictures her as a little girl coming into Grandad’s studio, being greeted with love, given access to his paints and supplies, and shown how to use them.

He gives her her own sketchbook and gets her started filling it, drawing side by side.

“I don’t think I did it right.”
“There is no right way,” he assures me.
“Every artist sees the world differently.”

Hmmm . . . artist?

I’ve never been called an artist before.
I like the sound of it.
I have so many stories to tell.

May kids continue to be inspired to make art, continuing to build Jerry Pinkney’s generous legacy.

Sacred Belonging

A 40-Day Devotional on the Liberating Heart of Scripture

by Kat Armas

Brazos Press, 2023. 195 pages.
Review written April 14, 2026, from a library book.
Starred Review

I have a strong knowledge of Scripture – attending Christian schools since elementary school and memorizing large portions – but Kat Armas is able to get me looking at Scripture with new eyes and asking new questions and yes, making new applications.

There are 40 devotionals in this book, in nice bite-sized pieces to mull over as you go about your day. I read them during Lent this year, but they are appropriate for any time of year.

Let me quote from the Introduction to let you know the focus of these devotionals:

The bodily resurrection of Jesus is an invitation to be fully human.

That’s what this devotional is about: being human. And with our humanity comes the ability to inquire, to imagine, to dream, to create.

When it comes to Scripture, I wonder what kind of relationship many of us would have to the text if we had all been invited to do those things when we read it. Rather than viewing the Bible as a book of absolutes, what if we were to read it as a diverse book of stories and instructions relating to the human experience in all its messiness and beauty? Oe of my seminary professors once said that when we read the Bible, we should read it with resistance: constantly asking questions, wrestling with it the way Jacob wrestled with God.

She also talks about the way colonizers and imperialists used the Bible to further their own aims.

I argue that such a syndrome has permeated our being, causing us to view the world as fixed, linear, dichotomous, and functioning in hierarchical relationships of domination and submission. For many of us, the assumptions behind how we perceive the biblical text have brought us to a place of unlearning and unraveling – of decolonizing – where we find ourselves hungry for new, liberating insights into our faith tradition.

For me, she succeeded at bringing a fresh and refreshing approach to biblical stories. She succeeded in these goals she articulated at the end of the Introduction:

My hope is that these words will point you to a belonging deeper than you have dreamed of, that you will see and experience yourself being tethered to your ancestors, to God, and to every created thing. And in exploring this relationality, I also hope that you will get to know divinity as embodied – where you can find a God who is familiar with planting and sewing, good wine and lilies. This is the God to whom we belong: one who is wholly material and wholly spiritual. As close to us as our own skin and far beyond anything our minds can fathom. It is in this paradox where we exist, where our spiritualities find their home. This is where we find sacred belonging.

If you take up this book, I promise your devotional time won’t feel routine.

Review of A Constellation of Minor Bears, by Jen Ferguson

A Constellation of Minor Bears

by Jen Ferguson
read by Julie Lumsden, Jesse Nobess, and Shaun Taylor-Corbett

Heartdrum, 2024. 8 hours, 51 minutes.
Review written March 2, 2026, from a library eaudiobook.
Starred Review

So far, I love every book by Jen Ferguson I’ve read (or story – She had one in the award-winning Legendary Frybread Drive-in). I’m not quite sure what took me so long to get to this one, but it did help when we got the eaudiobook edition. As with all of her books, this is mostly about relationships between quirky characters who quickly find their way into your heart.

A Constellation of Minor Bears is about a group of teens hiking the Pacific Crest Trail after graduation. Well, that was the plan anyway. Molly and Tray did graduate, Molly at 17 years old, but Molly’s brother Hank had a terrible accident that caused a traumatic brain injury earlier in the year, so he didn’t graduate, and needs to do summer school instead. Tray is the best friend of both Molly and Hank, but Molly’s been angry with him ever since Hank’s accident. Because Tray was there and failed to stop Hank’s fall.

But Molly has been icily polite. They need to talk things out and figure things out – and the Pacific Crest Trail is a good place to do so. Though Molly’s doing a lot of hiding – including hiding from her parents that she’s planning to keep hiking and not actually go to college in the Fall. But would that break the bargain she made with various gods to become a doctor if her brother woke up?

So, yes, Molly and Tray and Hank (our three viewpoint characters) have plenty to work through. And then along the way they encounter a fat girl who quickly befriends them – but needs their help. This book includes profound thoughts on fat phobia and ableist thinking, all in a realistic story setting. As well as issues from Molly and Tray being Métis, and Molly not feeling like she knows enough about what that means.

But above all, this was a book about characters I quickly came to care about in a setting that challenged them emotionally and physically.

Smash, Crash, Topple, Roll!

The Inventive Rube Goldberg

A Life in Comics, Contraptions, and Six Simple Machines

by Catherine Thimmesh
illustrated by Shanda McCloskey

Chronicle Books, 2025. 54 pages.
Review written March 24, 2026, from a library book.
Starred Review

This is a picture book biography of Rube Goldberg, but it’s got so much more. You know Rube Goldberg? He was the cartoonist who diagrammed crazily complicated machines to do simple tasks. As a cartoonist, he never built the machines himself, but now on the internet, you can find hundreds of videos of people who actually built machines inspired by his cartoons.

This book tells his story – he went to college and studied engineering to please his father. He didn’t last long as an engineer, but looking at patent diagrams gave him the ideas for his famous cartoons.

But the book explains the six simple machines for the reader – the lever, the wheel & axle, the inclined plane, the wedge, the screw, and the pulley. We get explanations of how they work and tips for how they can be used in your own Rube Goldberg inventions.

Back matter tells you what to search for to see modern Rube Goldberg machines in action. The first one I searched, I couldn’t help but watch twice. And the main text of the book ends with steps for building your own, one of which is “Embrace Murphy’s Law.” I foresee kids having a whole lot of fun and creating amazing things, inspired by this book.

One note is that the print is very small throughout the book, and it begins with a Rube Goldberg-like diagram, which is a little tricky to follow and also has fine print. So this book is for upper elementary and middle school kids with good reading skills. Those who persist are sure to have their imagination sparked.

Review of Bookshops & Bonedust, by Travis Baldree

Bookshops & Bonedust

by Travis Baldree
read by the Author

Macmillan Audio, 2023. 8 hours, 24 minutes.
Review written March 27, 2026, from a library eaudiobook.
Starred review

I have discovered my new favorite genre! Okay, I’ve already read lots of books in this genre and loved them, but when I read a Writer’s Digest interview with this author and heard his books described as “Cozy Fantasy,” I knew I would like them. I was completely correct.

In fact, I think the adult Cozy Fantasy genre is exactly what I liked about Young Adult Fantasy when I started writing Sonderbooks 25 years ago. Okay, the current Cozy Fantasy has a little more sex, but not super graphic sex. Current Young Adult Fantasy has gotten a lot darker, in general, as well as getting sexier, and I still enjoy it, but it’s a little harder to find stories I love. I also sympathize a whole lot less with tropes like the good and noble prince with a terribly evil father ruling, but the prince falls in love with a commoner oppressed by his father. Or other tropes that I’ve seen before which aren’t so wonderfully healthy if you think about them very long. Cozy Fantasy, though, currently seems like a good bet I’ll like it. (Anyway, I’m going to test that out and search for Cozy Fantasy and see how long that lasts.) 25 years ago or so, I said I didn’t like adult fantasy too much because it was mostly epic quests and detailed world-building, and I preferred young adult fantasy which had a mythic element, simpler with a fairy-tale feeling. (I still love fairy tale retellings.) It seems to me that Cozy Fantasy has recaptured that simplicity, throwing a dash of magic into a world you might want to live in.

Okay, so this book is actually a prequel – described as #0 in the series by Libby – and I decided to read it first. I was completely charmed and will queue up to read the rest of his books. (And the author does a great job reading it.)

Our main character is Viv, an orc who works as a mercenary with an elite group of rangers chasing down a necromancer. In the prologue, she gets out ahead of her group, fighting and slaying some wights – when one of them gives her a severe leg wound. Viv has to stay in one place to recover, so she’s in a quiet sea village waiting for the rangers to come back for her.

As an orc, Viv’s an imposing figure, but Fern, the ratkin who owns the village bookshop, dares to recommend a novel to Viv – and a friendship is born, as well as a new habit for Viv. Fern’s bookshop, which she inherited from her father, is cluttered, has a smelly rug, and is in general disrepair. Viv helps Fern spruce things up and revive her business.

But while that is happening, someone comes to the village with the smell of death. Some articles owned by the necromancer turn up in their town, and it’s no surprise to the reader when the battle with the necromancer comes to Viv before she’s necessarily ready.

But most of the story is about the characters and relationships. Enough so that we’re super concerned for everyone in the village when the big showdown happens.

I do love the way an orc who turns out to love to read is our main character. Okay, she is a skilled mercenary, but there’s a lot more to her than that. I was completely charmed by this book and ready to read the other books about Viv and Fern reunited years later (with Viv married to a succubus) in another town. Cozy fantasy is the perfect way to describe this.

Review The Second Death of Edie and Violet Bond, by Amanda Glaze

The Second Death of Edie and Violet Bond

by Amanda Glaze

Union Square & Co., 2022. 362 pages.
Review written November 26, 2022, from my own copy, sent by the publishers for the Cybils Awards.
Starred Review

The Second Death of Edie and Violet Bond is a historical paranormal novel about twins who inherited their mother’s gifts of interacting with the Dead who have crossed beyond the Veil. Violet can open the veil between life and death and communicate with spirits there, and Edie can cross into the spirit world. The Second or Final Death is when spirits go beyond. But spirits who have recently died often linger on the other side of the veil, and Edie and Violet can interact with them.

But the process isn’t without danger. Their mother was working with an unknown client a year ago, and Edie saw her use belladonna to force a spirit into the beyond — and her mother went with the spirit. After their mother’s death, their father threatened to save them by sending them to an asylum. That night, they tied bedsheets together and escaped.

Now they’re traveling with a company putting on shows of spiritualism. Most of what they do is fake — but not all of it. Part of Edie’s act is to deliver speeches on current issues — claiming to “channel” dead white men — whom people are interested to hear. (This was a real thing at the time!)

But their show has brought them back to Sacramento — close to the home they ran away from. A handsome young reporter is nosing around. And Edie senses something disturbing at the nearby asylum. She goes to a speech about the rights of women — and how a husband or father could consign a woman to an asylum with just his word.

And some Spiritualists are going missing. It comes close to home when a girl from their own traveling show goes missing, and Edie sees her beyond the veil.

It’s all put together in an absorbing way. I like all the actual history that’s thrown in — with an Author’s Note explaining it at the back. And I love her line in the Acknowledgments — “No librarians were harmed during the making of this book, but many were consulted.” I was impressed when I discovered this is a debut novel. I felt like there were a few too many coincidences as things came together, but on the other hand, everything was neatly tied together.

Overall, the theme of the connection between sisters made this a heart-warming book. I hope this author writes many more.

Nani and the Lion

written by Alicia D. Williams
illustrated by Anna Cunha

A Caitlyn Dlouhy Book (Atheneum), 2026. 40 pages.
Review written March 25, 2026, from a library book.
Starred Review

Here’s a new picture book with all the marks of a storytime classic. The setting is a village “across the ocean, where trees stretched far and wide and mountains kissed the sky.” But near the village lives a grumpy lion who doesn’t like noise and declares that no one may make noise in King Lion’s Land.

Villagers were so afraid that they tiptoed to the watering holes. Roosters refused to call the sun. Even elephants dared not blow their trunks.

However, living in the village is a little girl named Nani who is gifted at drumming. She can imitate all the local animals by making sounds on her drum. And when she drums, the people can’t help but dance.

And then they remember the lion and tell her to be quiet.

So that’s the set-up. She tries three different locations, making people and animals dance. The sound of the drum will be one kids can’t resist making along with Nani.

But finally, the lion hears, and the lion comes. (And there are sound effects for that, of course.)

At first, Nani runs with the others.

But then she uses her drum to make the lion dance.

And it all winds up with a tired lion and a joyful village dance party.

It’s accompanied by wonderful and colorful illustrations, and the whole thing has a folk tale feel. As with most picture books I review, you really do need to check this one out yourself and try it on a child to appreciate how lovely it is.

Phoenix

by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

Dial Books for Young Readers, 2026. 162 pages.
Review written April 10, 2026, from a library book.
Starred Review

Hooray! A new book from Kimberly Brubaker Bradley! And this one says it’s Book 1 of the Ride On series – so there will be more!

This book features Harper, a girl in middle school, whose life has just blown up. Harper’s dad cheated on her mother with Harper’s best friend Cat’s mother – and Harper found that out from gossip at school the morning after her parents told her they were getting divorced.

Harper and her mother decide to get out of town, so they move to a small house on the property of a barn and riding school. Cat was scared of horses, so Harper had always avoided them, too, out of solidarity. But one day a kill truck stops at the barn and abandons a dying horse in the yard. Harper becomes determined to save him. She names him Phoenix because he’s going to rise from the ashes.

But the adults aren’t so sure and keep warning Harper that it will be tough for him to make it. But Harper starts working around the barn, taking lessons, and learning about horses, determined to save her horse.

Meanwhile, she’s got new friends to make at the stables and at her new school. And sometime, she’s going to have to face her dad. And Cat.

This book is nice and short, but tells a good story in that time. Yes, we’re going to want to find out more in the next book of the series, but this was a fantastic way to meet Harper and her rescued horse. I learned plenty about riding and horses and even about how to treat an almost-starved horse. (Don’t let them eat all they want.) Horse-loving kids like I once was are going to be delighted with this series.

Strangers

A Memoir of Marriage

by Belle Burden
read by the Author

Books on Tape, 2026. 7 hours, 3 minutes.
Review written March 31, 2026, from a library eaudiobook.
Starred Review

I recently read a fictional tale of a divorce that did not ring true for me. Maybe it was just because of different circumstances? But this memoir of divorce (Yes, it’s about the marriage – but revisiting it in light of the divorce) rang so true, it made me feel like the author is my soul sister. Yes, the circumstances had lots of differences, but the underlying emotions made me remember how it had been.

Let me also say, right up front, that she ends the book in a good place, getting on with her life, happy about who she is as an individual – and I related to that, too. I think she got there more quickly than I did – but that’s where the difference in circumstances made a difference in pace. I ended the book happy for her, but with all my sympathy to her for that tough road.

The story begins on Martha’s Vineyard during the pandemic, where Belle and her husband had decided to bring their family from New York City and sit out the danger, which of course everyone thought wouldn’t last too long.

Then one day, Belle got a text from an unknown number saying that her husband was having an affair with his wife.

When she confronted her husband (Of course it wasn’t true!), he didn’t deny it. And the next day, he left the family and went back to New York City. The other woman had attempted suicide, and he wanted to make sure she was okay. He never did come back, except to tell the kids.

After telling about the day that broke her life apart, Belle goes back and tells about their whirlwind romance that led to their marriage of twenty years and three children. When did he stop loving her? Did he ever love her? (Yes, of course he did! That’s when she pulls out all the evidence over the years – and her friends saw it clearly.) What did she do wrong? How can he leave everything he built up for their family behind?

I related to every one of those questions. Probably silly, but it made me wish I had been there to help her through them. To tell her that’s normal and no, she didn’t do anything wrong. (Even if she wasn’t perfect. A man having an affair is about the man having an affair.) I would have shown her the book The Script that helped me finally believe it wasn’t all my fault (despite what my husband said) and the book Runaway Husbands about sudden abandonment, so she’d know she wasn’t alone.

I related to the weight loss, even to doing puzzles at bedtime. My puzzles of choice were killer sudokus, and hers were jigsaw puzzles – but yes, you have to, somehow, shut off your mind. I related to the dreams of him, and the way her heart leapt when she saw him – even when her mind knew better. As she pointed out, it takes some time for your heart to get the message not to love this person anymore.

Now, there were some big differences. She was a stay-at-home mom who did some pro bono legal work before the divorce – and she got to continue to do that after the divorce. (I had to go from working part-time to working full-time, which turned out to be a wonderful thing – I love my job.) I think because her husband left right away, there was less venom between them. That’s hard in its own way, but when I found out about my husband’s affair, he told me it wasn’t an affair – he just needed a friend so went to her house at midnight to watch a movie after a work trip. (And I believed him.) Then he proceeded to continue the affair behind my back for another year and a half. I would get my hopes up that we were working things out – and then I’d find out again that he’d been with her. And then he started being as unkind to me as he possibly could so that I would not get my hopes up. All that is to say that a quick departure must be awful, but so is a long drawn-out one. And I related to her story.

And yes, I fully and completely support Belle Burden telling her story. Yes, it’s healing and positive to tell the truth. There’s enough hiding and protecting out there. Yes, this is how lives fall apart when a husband breaks his wedding vows. But also – I loved reading about how she got her feet back under her and put her life back together, found new pursuits and new work, and continued on as a strong individual.

I listened to this audiobook obsessively. Her storytelling is superb (A blight upon the student who once told her she couldn’t write!), and I felt so much kinship with the situation.

Well done, sister! May you and your children continue to thrive!

Where Wolves Don’t Die

Starred Review
2026 American Indian Youth Literature Award Honor Book

I loved every minute of this audiobook. I’m so glad it won Honor from the AIYLA, because I’d completely missed it in 2024. (They give the award every other year, but so many great books are being written by indigenous authors lately, I hope they increase it to every year.)

The book begins with teen Ezra Cloud thinking about how much he hates living in Minneapolis with its gray snow. And since his mother died of cancer – which she surely got from working at the factory – Ezra has a hard time even looking at his father.

Then Ezra sees Matt, the kid who’s long been his bully, harassing his best friend and secret crush Nora. Ezra only just manages to keep from punching Matt. He punches a locker and breaks his hand instead. That night, when under the influence of painkillers, he dreams about a group of wolves burning down a house – and the next day Matt’s family home, which housed a meth lab, has burned down, and Matt’s father and uncle are dead.

The next time Matt sees Ezra, he claims he saw Ezra at the fire. There’s a detective poking around. Ezra’s sure he couldn’t have been there, but his father wants Ezra well out of the way. So they go to see his grandparents – on a reserve in Canada – for Christmas, and Ezra stays after to spend the winter with his grandpa working the traplines.

Most of the book is in remote Canada, Ezra in a cabin with his grandpa, learning the lore of trapping – and lore of their people thrown in. He also has a chance to work through some emotional baggage. There are moments of great danger, and mystical encounters with wolves – and by the time they’re back from the trapline, there’s still the mystery of who set the fire to clear up.

So this is a book with its share of survival, mystery, and danger – but what I truly loved about it was the emotional depth. Truly a wonderful book to listen to.
