Such a sweet book about a girl named Unhei who moves from Korea and is trying to fit in. Her classmates and teacher‘s kindness help her see that her name and heritage are not something that will keep her from making friends in her new school.

I‘m not crying, you‘re crying.

I love how Jack comes to understand, write, and appreciate poetry. This is a super quick read, but have tissues handy.

TheBookHippie This is in our curriculum. Kids adore it. 3d

DGRachel @TheBookHippie The dog dies! I can‘t handle dogs dying. 😭😭😭😭 3d

TheBookHippie @DGRachel I‘m in a title one school with refugees and immigrants, massive trauma and death is normal- and it helps them tell their stories 3d

DGRachel @TheBookHippie I love that (having help, not the normalcy of trauma/death, obviously). Clearly, I‘m not the intended audience and that particular topic is something I‘ve been sobbing about out of nowhere for two days. Grief is a funny thing. 3d

TheBookHippie @DGRachel Grief is a lifetime journey. ♥️ 3d

AmyG Ha! I also feel the same way”30 years ago”. Very funny. 2w

dabbe OMG, these made me laugh out loud! 30 years ago: 🎯! Weather? 🎯 Weather metaphorically? 🎯 Parenting? I got nuthin' cuz I'm not a parent, but as a former teacher? 🎯!

Thanks for sharing yourself, m'dear. And for your lovely comment. I'll walk with my head a wee bit higher today. 🩵💚💙 2w

CSeydel @dabbe As you should! And yes, as a longtime southern Californian I meant the weather comic as a metaphor for my mood more than the outdoor conditions (I turn 50 this year, so … you know … 🥵) It‘s like being a teenager again but not in any of the fun ways 😭 (edited) 2w

CSeydel @wanderinglynn @AmyG Crazy isn‘t it?? 2w

Happy Tuesday! Here are today's #Two4Tuesday questions. I asked this question several years ago; however, there are so many new Littens since then I thought it would be fun to ask again. All are welcome to play.

My answers:
📚 I'm most definitely a bibliophile. I would have even more physical books, but I am out of room..
📚 Tagged. I also thought Hermione from Harry Potter is an excellent choice.
Play? @dabbe @eggs @AnnCrystal @peaKnit @BethM
