Compare and Contrast! Black and White by Debora Vogrig

WHITE WAKES UP...

... And as dawn lightens the sky, the brightening White slips insides the sleeping silhouetted buildings, seeking her friend Black, hiding, as he often is, under the bed. White pushes under the bed, and finds her friend.

"HEY! STOP PUSHING! YOU'RE SQUASHING ME! BLACK GRUMBLES."

White has got places to go and things to do in the morning, but Black decides to trail along, turning into a dark octopus, gleefully squirting dark ink onto the spotless white!

Next he organizes the black ink to make the black spots of a speedy Dalmation running into a forest of birchbark tree trunks. White and Black are on a roll now, and together they make a white polar bear with black nose and a flock of two-toned penguins at the opposite pole.

Moving fast, White and Black form a racing herd of Zebras and a black panther in the rain forest and they go down to the sea flying the black and white Jolly Roger flag of a pirate.

And then it is Black's turn to creep into the landscape, creating those elongated evening shadows. The spiral of darkness begins to take charge.

But the two friends still have just enough light for a game with black and white chess pieces, a sing-along with the black and white keys of the piano, one more story on the black-and-white of the printed page--and just enough light from the crescent moon and a million points of light in the black sky.

It takes TWO, in Debora Vogrig's latest, Black and White (Eerdmans Books for Young Readers, 2021).

Picture book gurus always advise choosing books for youngsters with vibrant colors, but, au contraire, this tour-de-force of picture book possibilities offers a bold sample of what can be done with black and white in the hands of an able author and an illustrious illustrator.

Working solely (but dually) with all-black and all-white pages, illustrator Pia Valentinis uses the contrasting markings of black-and-white animals to make each one easily recognizable in an eye-catching, brain-stimulating reverse-the field technique that illustrates the importance of differences, no matter how very diverse they can be.

Opposites attract, it seems, in this clever story of light and dark White and Black, working together to make their own world. "The story unfolds in short spare sentences that match the illustrations, both text and artwork presenting just enough for readers to fill in the details with their imaginations," says

  • Hi I’m Grace here in GA. After having multiple bad experiences with credit repair companies and figuring out the credit score they told me they boosted was actually false and the negative items on my report wasn’t cleaned I tried PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST… I want to publicly appreciate PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for the effort of helping me to increase my credit score when I was suffering from low credit score 511 and was unable to meet up to my standard level. My score suddenly shot up 811 within 6 days. I met this Dude on CK and I contacted him: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM / +1 (323) 406-1225. Sincerely I’m pleased after everything he did for me. He didn’t charge so much but delivered on his part. Contact him for all sorts of credit repair, he will be willing to help you.

  • I had a BK-7 on my TransUnion report. The date is incorrect. It shows from 2016 but BK was in 2012. I also had 60 days late on a car loan from 2019, no collection and charge off Citi bank from 2019 paid. Started rebuilding December 2021 with 522 FICO 8 but none of the strategies worked. I have to look for a credit repair company which my colleague at work recommended to me as a PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST to me. I believed her because I knew she was having a bad credit score but that day she showed me her credit score was above 800+ I contacted them immediately to be honest I was not disappointed. Within 6 days PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST wiped out all baddies on my credit report and increased my FICO SCORE to 811 I’m so EXCITED for what they did for me on my credit report. If you need help in fixing your credit, I will recommend them to you via: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM

  • COVID really hit me hard financially as I’m sure has been a consistent theme here. I started my rebuilding in January of this year. Experian FICO 8 Score 576, 15 Hard Inquiries and 8 late payments. I had this mindset, I’ll be in the 700+ before the end of the year. I needed help and I found PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST here, so I decided to give them a try. 6 days after they increased my score to 800+ across the 3 credit bureaus, they also removed all hard inquiries from the credit report and all late payment was marked as paid on time. I confirmed it myself. I can’t keep the GOOD NEWS to my help because I know so many people out there are looking forward to getting the same testimony. All thanks to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. Reach them via: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM OR TEXT (541) 286 5453.

  • Hi, guys, let’s talk about the FICO score, those important 3-digit numbers that determine your quality of life no matter your status. Well earlier in 2023 I had a really bad credit score. I would often surf the net searching for real hackers that could help increase my credit score. Well as expected I got swindled twice. Eventually I gave up my search and concluded that it wasn’t possible for hackers to increase credit scores. The good news is that I read on a credit forum about DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION. I was pessimistic at first, but I decided to give it a try. To my greatest surprise, within 9 days DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION was able to boost my score to an excellent score, not only that they added some positive remarks on it. In conclusion, if you have a bad credit score you might want to contact them by email: DOVLYCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM OR Call (713) 396-5299.

  • Hi, I’m Darren. This is not a drill; there is a group of hackers called DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION that can help sort all your credit issues. A high FICO score is very important and this company to the best of my knowledge understands how to make it happen, how do they do it? I don’t know but honestly, they did a great job of getting my credit score up to 806 excellent score. Not just that they also removed negative items on it and wrote some very positive ones. DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION has done it for me and I want the word to know about them. Contact them by email: DOVLYCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM / TEXT +1 (713) 396-5299. Ciao!

  • Hello everyone! Ok…I’ll try to shorten this as best I can. After many years of marriage, I finally got divorced about three years ago. My ex-wife had major spending issues. Both of us have very good jobs. She is a physician and I’m a pharmacist/software engineer. We are both high earners, but she spent like the money was endless. We had a $2 million home in Miami, new cars every couple years, and her credit card spending was out of control. It was to the point that she was racking my credit cards up as well. I finally decided enough was enough and I left. Moved to the other side of the country with extreme amounts of debt. In a two years period I paid off almost $240,000 of debt. Some of it had gone to collections, and some of it had not. But my credit score was in the toilet. I have been a software engineer for a long time. I had not practiced pharmacy in many years though I kept my license active. My software engineering has always been around pharmacy systems. So, I started working three jobs. Software engineer during the day, working as a pharmacist part time during the evenings and weekends, and doing telephonic patient counseling for medication. I was constantly tired. But paid off every penny of the debt I had including student loans. I owe no one anything now. The real problem was my credit score was in the mid-600s. That was equally embarrassing. I went a little crazy looking for hackers to help me increase my credit score until a colleague recommended DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION to me. I quickly searched about them and discovered they had so many positive reviews that I quickly contacted them by email: DOVLYCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM / I also gave them a call +1 (713) 396-5299. They responded swiftly, and I explained my predicament to them, which they accepted to boost my credit score to an excellent score. To my greatest surprise after 9 days, I got a call from them by 7:00AM to confirm my current credit score, which I quickly logged into Credit Karma and discovered my score has been boosted to 800s across the credit bureaus. They also deleted all the collections and inquiries on my credit report. I have no regrets working with DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION. Hit them up if you have any credit related issues. I’m now well qualified credit wise.

  • Hi all! I’m 29 years old. My credit started to tank around 2021 when expenses were outpacing my income. I got a lot of loan offers and foolishly took them, adding more expenses to my income. Didn’t help that I was in a relationship with someone who I greatly outnumbered and took on the burden of the bills to seem fair. Won’t be doing that again. I had a lot of collections and charge-offs from personal loans and CCs. From looking at my Experian I had several charge-offs that became collections and few that didn’t. Which all brought down my credit score to a low 586 score. I needed advice on rebuilding my score back to 700s. DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION came through for me, my credit report cleaned up with all negative entries removed; charge-ffs and collections wiped out. Now: Jan 2024 my score is Equifax 801| TransUnion 808| Experian 811. Yes, it feels good to have a worthy credit profile. I want to use this time to appreciate DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION for bringing me out of a bad credit report that made my life miserable. My goal is to also obtain higher limits 5K-10K on CC which has finally been achieved. I’m happy to have come across DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION here, you can contact them by email: DOVLYCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM Or text 1+ (713) 396 5299.

  • I had a $400 fresh account with Fingerhut, after realizing the amount of interest they were charging me (I didn’t know about credit at the time), I decided to close the account. I called the customer service phone number and requested the representative to close the account. Monday, January 8, 2024, I decided to check my credit report and noticed it has been open since 2020. Called the Fingerhut collection department regarding the account. How is it currently reporting open if I closed it in 2016? There’s a remaining balance of $495. My credit score was 502. I felt horrible and embarrassed. But my friend James introduced me to DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION, a credit repair company and they helped me to raise my credit score to 810 excellent standard and deleted all negative items on my credit report within 8 days. He also helped me increase my credit card limit to $15,000 and placed some good tradelines on my report. DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION is the best amongst all, and his service is fast, secured and reliable without stress. Contact him by email: DOVLYCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM / +1 (713) 396 5299, for any kind of credit repair. They’re swift in responding to any question.

  • Hi everyone, all thanks to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. Been a long time lucker and finally gotten to where I can come to terms with my credit situation, and they’ll fix it for me. Went through a divorce and then the pandemic was rough. My score was: EQ: 516, TU: 513, EX 539 FICO 8, Inquiries: EQ2, TU:5, There was an inquiry on my TU that I don’t recognize from synchrony financial that I was asking to have removed. While in the process of beginning to tackle debt, the transmission in my car went out. I went without a car for as long as possible, before financing a car. I was able to employ PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST who helped me increase my scores to EQ: 802, TU: 807, EX: 811 excellent score within 9 days. He also paid all the debt on my credit report. I really appreciate the help, this is my first post, and I apologize for the wall of text. My goal is to solidify my relationship with NFCU which has been achieved and I’m now qualified for a mortgage.

  • Hello everyone, I’m Stephanie Wilson from Florida. My score was 598. After quick research of a hacker called PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST with numerous recommendations and that which my girlfriend Tabitha explained about with positive reviews. I contacted him explaining my problem. Duly he came up with a resounding proposal and guaranteed to fix my credit. Today I got a score alert of 803!!! The last baddie was finally removed!!! A collection that I never owed to begin with. It's amazing now all thanks to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. I strongly recommend him for your credit fix.

  • I had to contact PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST by their email: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM and +1 (409) 231-0041. I have been working on rebuilding my credit after my divorce. I had 5 charge offs, I have four opened cards, only one if they have a balance but it's nearly maxed out. I had a CO with Amex from several years ago that is due to fall off in June with TU. I had other CO’s and collections from my divorce that took me from high 700s Fico to low 500’s. I was really in an embarrassing financial situation due to my poor Fico score which led me to meeting some imposters online who claimed to help but worsened my problems. I needed to raise my score a bit higher. It eventually paid off when I met PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST through a reference online (may God bless him). His work rate, professionalism and discretion are top-notch. He increased my scores and the negative items on my report in a relatively short time (6 business days) which finally got me the mortgage for my new house. Tell him I referred you to him…. All the Best!

  • Hey all!! You don’t know how relieved I am right now. I’ve been literally living on this forum for about 2 years learning everything I can to rebuild my credit. I was really in an embarrassing financial situation due to my poor credit score. When I started my scores were in the 560 range, everything was wrecked. Few days after I came across PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST on this forum and contacted them, they increased my score and improved my credit profile by removing the evictions, charge off, late payment and DMV, today my Fico 8 are TU: 831, EX: 827, EQ: 769. Honestly, I don’t enjoy writing much, but I must let the world know about this genius that helped me. I sincerely acknowledge their relentless efforts and urge you to contact PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for any credit related issue. Contact info: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM Or call +1 (409) 231-0041. Thanks.

  • Today I called PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST and asked to have my BK7 removed from my CR, and they did. It was scheduled to fall off next year. So that’s that. A horrible chapter in my life but I’ve come out on top. So much wiser, better prepared for the future, and peace of mind where finances are concerned. Thanks to this forum and the good folks that spend their time here to share their experience and share the knowledge they got from PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. Thank you PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for all your assistance, guidance and cheerleading. Especially in the early days of my rebuild. With my scores now in the 800’s I’m tempted to app just to know I’d likely be approved, but there’s nothing I need right now. A sincere thanks to all of you! Contact them by email: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM / Or call +1 (409) 231-0041.

  • I had a couple of things happen in 2021 that caused me to get extremely behind on several bills. I had about 3 credit cards end up in charge-off status. Only one of those cards was ever sent to collections and I have since paid this before the collection ever hit my credit. 2 of the cards were through Capital One. 1 of the 2 were sent to collections. The unpaid one has been referred to an attorney and kept in house, although I received documentation that the attorney was dropping the lawsuit against me. My credit was hovering at around a 620 Equifax FICO and a 618 Experian FICO. I had so many lates from these three accounts. This forum gave me some hope regarding PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST came through for me and increased my scores to 801 Equifax, 806 TransUnion and 811 Experian and deleted all the negative items on my credit profile including charge offs and collection. If you need a hacker to fix your credit issues within 6 days, PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST is good to go. They get the job done as quickly as possible. Email: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM / +1 (409) 231-0041.
