Welcome to Litsy!

A quiet week of joys.
1. Earth Day cleanup in the woods where I like to walk.
2. Then I went to the shops and bought a skirt for $5 (no tariffs on secondhand items).
3. Easter morning breakfast where I met a chatty young man and his mother.
4. Capitals are 2-0 in the playoffs.
5. I reorganized my crafting supplies and liberated one of the containers.

Pausing for a moment with a coffee, to think about the sad loss of such an advocate for the climate and vulnerable.
May he RIP 🙏

Wow. Fantastic way to advertise the dangers of pollution, industrialization, and business that harms the environment to a young audience. And that‘s an abrupt ending that leaves a great impact rather than an unfinished one.

This is a book for kids to understand recycling. Still, I think we should be using other bottles of different products instead of plastic. #ISpyBingoFeb @TheAromaofBooks

I read this to my class today - what a sweet story. It made me think of the #naturalitsy group on here because this is like We Are the ARK for kids.

3 ⭐If Julian wasn‘t the son of rockstars, I‘m not sure he would have gotten this book published. The book is fine. It‘s very similar to Press Here. Except in this instance, they‘re in a plane going to different places on earth. Each place has an issue. It could be pollution in the water driving the fish away, a desert that needs irrigation to grow crops, etc. In this book, I like the illustrations better than I like the story.

“If carbon dioxide were a pizza, then we are expecting the Earth to eat a whole pie rather than just one slice.“

I could see this book used in a later elementary classroom where the book is read as a read aloud and then students choose a topic from the book that they want to complete a project and presentation on. That way, it is a topic they are interested in and also they can share their research with their peers.
