Yet another awesome book from 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.

Guest Post from D. G. Driver, Author of Cry of the Sea

I was driving to work, mulling about what to write for this guest blog post when an interview with the writing/illustrating team of the picture book The Last Stop on Market Place came on NPR. The author, Matt de la Peña began speaking about diversity: “This book is about diverse characters, but it isn’t about being diverse.” Then illustrator Christian Robinson added that when books focus explicitly on diversity, “there tends to be an element of heaviness — maybe because the history is heavy and serious.”¹
