Reposted from @bookinitwithahtiya ✨ Thank you so much @shelfstuff for sending me a finished copy of A COMB OF WISHES by Lisa Stringfellow! 🌊🧜🏾♀️ ✨ I listened to this recently released middle grade fantasy on audio and had an incredible experience. The method of storytelling really incorporates the use of call and response in Black Diasporic traditions. The tradition of oral storytelling in the Black community, specifically in the Caribbean, is expertly woven into the story. The dual perspectives between little girl Kela and mermaid Ophidia adds a sense of anticipation and foreboding. This novel has lots of heart and deals with grief, specifically death of a parent. I’m excited for my students to discover this one! 🧜🏾♀️🌊 ✨ Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.75 . . . #OwnVoices #BookCommunity #BookPhotography #BookNerd #BookRecommendations #BlackBookstagram #BlackBooksMatter #DiverseSpines #BookinItWithAhtiya #ACombOfWishes #SistahScifi #Juneteenth #Juneteenth2022 #CaribbeanAmericanHeritageMonth #SistahScifi #LisaStringfellow Reposted from @theshelfstuff https://www.instagram.com/p/CfDB0t4JcFO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
