Anastasia Higginbotham explores such heavy going and important themes in illustrated books.

In Spain, we were taught by our grandmas to kiss the bread when we dropped it. This is the title of this beautiful book that contains the fictional stories of ordinary families from Madrid who have to face the 2008 economic crisis. Their solidarity, optimism, and humbleness are a lesson to all of us.

Visiting Day is based on true events from the author‘s childhood. This picture book tells the story of family love- the unconditional love the child has for her father who is imprisoned; the strength and love of the grandmother to her grandchild she‘s taking care of, and to her son in prison. Delicate subject matter told beautifully, with great accompanying illustrations.

A young girl and her grandmother prepare for a very special day--the one day a month they get to visit the girl's father in prison. Sumptuous illustrations!

Jacqueline Woodson doesn‘t shy away from tough topics. She and James Ransome draw on life experiences to tell a story that needs to be shared. A much needed addition to children‘s literature.

Review: Blackout by James Goodman, 2011, is a comic book style picture book about a city wide blackout that rings the whole city and family closer together. It uses minimal words but the pictures tell a story
Blurb: The set up of the story makes it very interesting and a fun read. Certain pages look like a comic book and there are a lot of speech bubbles from characters as well
Quote: “Everyone went back to normal...But not everyone likes normal.“
