A group of boys keeps a scorecard about who touches girls the most. Nobody believes her or really cares. She doesn't want to bother her mom with her issues, so she keeps her thoughts inside. She learns karate, and that becomes her outlet. Illuminates issues of problems in today's world that will probably never go away. The characters are convincing and credible. The story can help talk about things that are hard to talk about.

Beautiful tale of how a neighborhood copes with War and finds comfort in stories. History is filled violent attempts to prevent people from access to literature. #readforperspective #peace

Love Is Powerful | Heather Dean Brewer

The author was just six years old when she participated in the 2016 Women‘s March. She has a memory of her friend Mari holding up her homemade sign that said, “Love is powerful.” Mari did not believe her voice could be heard, but when she yelled love is powerful she was surprised that others returned her call.

Positively one of my favorite children's books for multiple reasons. First, the illustrations are breathtaking. Next, I love the build-up of the story. Mr. Peabody is a good guy (he coaches a kids' baseball team!)... Did he really just steal an apple?? Which bring me to finally, the moral of the story. Things are not always as they seem, and it is best not to start any rumors.

Fabulous children's book, and I would highly recommend!!

@ljuliel asked Littens to share a book that touched them emotionally so here goes (you don‘t need to explain but ... 😊). I haven‘t been a teenager in quite some time and it had been years since I‘d read YA but something made me pick this series up at a horrific time while struggling in Mumbai. It reminded me how much of an escape and a joy reading could be & bought me back to myself. It was also one of the first books I posted to Litsy 😊♥️😊

ljuliel Wonderful story to go with this book. They really can sometimes remove us from real life and take us elsewhere. Not all books do that for me, but it‘s great when I find one like that. 4y

3.5 🌟
This book is lovely, but a bit hard to read. The story is of a girl who collects words and shares them with the world to help combat conflict, boredom, and carelessness. What really makes this story is the illustrations. But the illustrations are what make it hard to read. It‘s the way they flow on the page and seem like they are cut out of other things.

rather_be_reading sounds like an interesting premises though! 5y

One Word That Will Change Your Life (Expanded) | Jon Gordon, Dan Britton, Jimmy Page

Every year, I choose one little word as my theme for the year. Rather than focusing on individual resolutions, I just pick a theme for how I would like my life to grow over the coming year. It works for me. Maybe it will work for you. If it doesn‘t, that‘s okay, too. My word for 2019 is

Connect.

For a multitude of reasons, but mostly because we are all in this together. #onelittleword #wordoftheyear

Krisjericho Since 2011, my words have been Renew, Fit, Breathe, Intention, Real, Free, Enough, and Build. 5y
Librarybelle I love this idea! Thank you for sharing. ❤️ 5y
The_Literary_Jedi I never intentionally set a word or thought or plan until last year. I wrote out a focus: the year it comes together. And things really did come together. This year is: the year of growth and balance. I realize my actions are concise & deliberate when I see my focus idea every day in my bullet journal. #powerofwords 5y
llwheeler I did this for the first time this year. My word was Realize. Not sure yet what I'll pick for 2019... 5y
CouronneDhiver Awesome! If I had to pick a word for 2019, I hope it‘s “Celebrate!” 5y
