Yet another awesome book from D. G. Driver…

D.G. Driver

That truly was my first thought when I finished the final page of Whisper of the Woods and sat for a moment with my thoughts whirling. I connected with D.G. several years ago during the very first Multicultural Children’s Book Day. From the start, Cry of the Sea intrigued me and once I settled in to read it, it hook from from beginning to end.

F. ISABEL CAMPOY is an author who crossed our path during our last MCCBD 2016 event. Her books are vibrant, sweet and clevel and we love the fact that many are in Spanish as well. We especially loved her book Maybe Something Beautiful.

Maybe Something Beautiful is the triumph of a community against the darker forces of social decay.  Mira, the protagonist, decides one day to paste her drawing of a sun on one of the dark walls of an alley on her way back from school, just to bring brightness to the smiles of her neighbors. The force of that sun’s attraction transformed those streets and the lives of their neighbors, forever.
