Jabari Jumps by Gaia Cornwall & Freedom Soup by Tami Charles (Bite sized reviews)

I've decided to come up with a new feature, sound bites, or mini bites, bite sized reviews. Still working on the name. But the basic concept will be books that I've only said a few sentences about, which generally are when I review picture books I check out from the library. But may not be limited to them.

So Welcome I guess to Mini bites? (Hmm maybe)


Book 1:


Jabari Jumps (Jabari, #1)Jabari Jumps by Gaia Cornwall 
Series: Jabari #1
Published: May 19, 2017 Candlewick Press
Hardcover 32 pages
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jabari Jumps is a cute book in which a little boy name Jabari is going to show is dad that he can jump off the diving board, even though it's so high up.

This book teaches children a way to over come a fear, and the reward that comes along with facing them. 



Book 2:


Freedom SoupFreedom Soup by Tami Charles
Standalone
Published: December 10th, 2019 Candlewick Press
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

As a child and her Grandmother gather in the kitchen making soup, freedom soup. Her Grandmother asks her they called it that, then they proceed  to talk about the history of her people, the Haitians and their revolution from slavery to freedom. All while dancing to music and preparing the meal.

This book teaches about history and traditions. The learning and making of the soup are past down from one generation to the next.
