Welcome to Litsy!

#Weekendreads

Another #OhCanada pick I never would've heard about otherwise. I found both of the dual narratives interesting, which isn't always the case. I haven't read many books about WWI and I appreciated the perspective of an indigenous Canadian.

I read and highly recommend the original middle grade chapter book Refugee by Alan Gratz frequently. This graphic novel version still brings a lot of the emotion but with using panels & speech bubbles paired with illustrations instead of descriptive paragraphs of text.

I think it‘s been 7 or so years since I‘ve read this book, and its staying power is unmatched. I still think about it often.

I‘m finally doing it. I started watching the series and just knew I would probably love reading it more. So here we are….Better late than never.

A book I hope will be read in a lot of schools. Or, let's say, a book I hope will be read by a lot of people. Especially in Europe, even though it's a universal topic.
Loved Salama and her spirit, her goal to help. And loved how not toxic Kenan was. No toxic masculinity here. I wish them all the best for their future 💖

Thankful for #ohcanada group for choosing this and enabling me to get it off my Death Tower where it sat for 10 years? A raw look at war, the horrors of trench warfare and an informative look at indigenous life in Canada in the early 1900‘s and their roles in the Great War.
My favourite part was Niska‘s story - she always had hope, Xavier and Elijah‘s story in the war was reflective of the awfulness of the killing fields

I am going to attack my To Do list but first Jane Goodall 💚💙🦍🦧🪾🐒 #ohcanada
