Welcome to Litsy!

Okay, at first I felt a little silly reading a book about a bunch of middle schoolers. But this book was really good. It was sad, funny, heartbreaking, and happy all at once. I agree with August Pullman, everyone in the world should get a standing ovation at least once in their life. I‘m so happy to “see” Auggie get his standing ovation.

#choosekind my 11-yr old asked me to read this because she is reading it & thought it was good. It is good. And sad, and heartbreaking. I told her I‘m glad I read it, but reading it once is enough, but that it‘s probably a good idea of what middle school is all about. The kids are mean, trying to figure out who they want to be, but that you can always be kind and stay true to you.

“It was her first day and she was both nervous and excited.“

I relate to this book because as a child I always wanted to change my name to something different, like famous people I loved names. As I grew older I realized that the best name was my very own name because it was unique to me.

This book is a great book for elementary school students at the beginning of the school year or if you have a new student coming to your class because like the character in the book she feels like she has to change her name because she is worried the kid in her new class wont like her. She tries to pick an American name. She eventually learns that the best name is her name she was given.

When a classmate tells her families only have one dad, Riley frets all day about which of her dads she has to choose. A sweet but heartbreaking LGBTQIA+ families snapshot of a picture book. I love the illustrations. #LGBTQIA #PictureBook #Family

"When you're given an opportunity to change your life, be ready to do whatever it takes to make it happen. The world doesn't give things. You take things."

OMG. I am vicariously indulging in every sip of Evelyn Hugo's life tea (so far). I love this relatable(ish) content. Less than 50 pages to go. Let's find out why she really is the monster she claims to be ?
