Review Tour: Wonder in the Garden by Talia Aikens-Nunez

Congratulations to tour winner Stephanie G. and to host winner Iron Canuck Reviews & More.

Goddess Fish Promotions is organizing a Virtual Name Before the Masses REVIEW ONLY Tour for WONDER IN THE GARDEN by Talia Aikens-Nunez, a 32 page picture book available March 17 from PenguinRandom House. The tour will run every Monday for four weeks starting on March 30. The review copy is available in PDF format.

Talia Aikens-Nunez will be awarding a $25 Amazon/BN gift card to a randomly drawn winner during the tour, and a $25 Amazon/BN gift card to a randomly drawn host.

Nina loves spending time in her family’s garden, and so does her dog, Nube. They delight in all the wonders found growing there and all the spectacular colors—roja, naranja, verde, amarillo, morado. But mostly they just love to play, as it’s the perfect place for a game of hide-and-seek with its tall corn and enormous leafy veggies. It’s also a place to have the best al fresco meals with Nina’s loving extended family. Exuberant text sprinkled with Spanish and vivid, energetic art that captures the garden in all its glory make this the perfect book for celebrating the bounty of our gardens and the joy of spending a day there, learning, laughing, and lending a helping hand!

Book Blast : Men of the 65th: The Borinqueneers of the Korean War by Talia Aikens-Nunez

Congratulations to tour winner Chelsea B. and to host winner Country Mamas With Kids.
Thank you for your interest in hosting this tour, but all the stops have now been filled.

Goddess Fish Promotions is organizing a Virtual Book Blast Tour for Men of the 65th: The Borinqueneers of the Korean War by Talia Aikens-Nunez, a young adult nonfiction available now from Lerner/Zest Books. The tour will run September 16-20, and this tour will not include interviews or guest blogs; however, a blurb, excerpt and author bio will be provided to every host for inclusion on their blog. A PDF copy of the book is available for review in conjunction with a promo post.

Talia Aikens-Nunez will be awarding a $25 Amazon/BN GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour, and a $25 Amazon/BN GC to a randomly drawn host.

Honor and Fidelity. That is the motto of the 65th Infantry Regiment, also known as the Borinqueneers, the only Puerto Rican unit in the United States Army.

Since the regiment’s creation in 1899, the men of the 65th have proudly served the US through multiple wars, despite facing racial discrimination. Their courage, loyalty, and patriotism earned them hundreds of accolades, including the Congressional Gold Medal in 2014.

But the honor and fidelity of the men of the 65th came into question in 1952, in the midst of the Korean War, when ninety-one Borinqueneers were arrested and tried for desertion and disobeying orders. How could this happen in one of the most distinguished and decorated units of the Army?

In this telling of one of the forgotten stories of the Korean War, author Talia Aikens-Nuñez guides us through the history of the Borinqueneers and the challenges they faced leading up to what was the largest court martial in the entire war. Rediscover the bravery of the men of the 65th through Aikens-Nuñez’s thorough writing and the soldiers’ firsthand accounts of the Korean War.
