Welcome to Litsy!

Mary Austin was an American writer and one of the early nature writers of the American Southwest. Her book, The Land of Little Rain, written in 1903, describes the fauna, flora, and people of the region between the High Sierra and the Mojave Desert of southern California. As this area of the country is not far from where we live in Vegas, I decided I would like to go and see these areas and visit her home in Independence, CA.

The sun will be setting, its dazzling colors threading through the sky, making my cheeks warm.
Then I will wake up.

Good-bye, Ty,
Gemma

I think I‘ve never showed you guys “my” desert. Here is a tiny piece of it.
The first week of this year is gone. Only focus on the now and claim the rest.
Always remember to stop and enjoy nature. It is a healer.

“ I wave to Mom where she waits on the porch, flash her a fistful of flowers, and the first smile she's seen since New York.“ I really like this quote because it shows Jayden's growth and appreciation for his new home.

This book is a really beautifully written. It would be really helpful in the classroom and out of the classroom. This book has theme of lo lines and beauty which can be seen with new students or new families that are trying to find their belongingness.

This book is about a little boy who is moving from New York City to New Mexico and really does not want to. He then starts to realize all the beauty surrounding him in his new home. This book uses watercolor and bright colors for it's illustrations.

I wake up to
a knife of sunlight
slicing through the room

This is a great beginning of the year book for students who are having a difficult time adjusting to a new classroom, or new school. The book encourages the reader to find beauty in what they have in front of them.
