Welcome to Litsy!

I can‘t explain why but I picked this up yesterday and now I need to read the whole series.

The Bad Seed by Jory John is about a seed with a temper and bad attitude. This book is about him and his journey to be happy.
This is a great book about behavior that would be extremely beneficial to a classroom.

This book is a humorous picture book published in 2017. The bad seed never listens and is always causing trouble. But one day, he cracks, and he realizes being bad is not all that. He starts to change and becomes a better seed. This story has a great message and is very funny, and I will definitely use this in my classroom!

Eating homemade slow cooker lentil and bacon soup (let me know if you would recommend any slow cooker cook books) and doing some Litsy snooping whilst I finalise what to get my Xmas book swaps! (Their taste is too good bag now I just want all the books they want too!) 😂

My 5 year old got his Scholastic order today at school. We read The Bad Seed together for the first time and I must say, it's all too relatable. I had a misguided childhood and spent a lot of years working out trauma and depression. I'm better now, not perfect but better. This book gets me. I was a bad seed as well. 🌰🖤

I've become a big fan of Weiland's books on writing! They're full of useful information, they're entertaining, & with the many examples she gives using both popular books & movies, they're easy to understand. I've always focused on plot when writing because while reading, even a book full of characters I hate can keep my attention if the plot is good enough, but now I'm going to work on making my stories deeper by developing my character arcs!

The Black main character (who also stars in other sports books), deals with problems that affect every kid: joy, anticipation, nerves, doubt. I like that it doesn't center on sports competition. Focuses on the experiences of leading up to and playing in a game. Could inspire discussions about the importance of practice and setting goals. #dw2020reads
