Why Am I Here? | Constance rbeck-Nilssen

#NewYearNewBooks Day 16: One of the most profound picturebooks on #Refugees and asks this question: “What if I had to move from place to place? And the only things I could keep were what I was able to carry with me. What would it be like to live like that?” This is one story that pushes the envelope just a tad further, as international picturebook titles from Norway usually do.

I would say this is a good introduction to the topic and a few examples of mindfulness practice at the end of each session.

"IN THIS INCREDIBLY COMPETITIVE SOCIETY OF OURS, HOW MANY OF us truly feel good about ourselves? It seems such a fleeting thing—feeling good—especially as we need to feel special and above average to feel worthy. Anything less seems like a failure."

Radical Acceptance | Tara Brach

Brach encourages us to be accepting of ourselves with guided meditations drawing from psychology and Buddhism. I would recommend it to anyone dealing with psychological or physical pain that is open to advice like this, “…take a few moments, whenever you remember, to look into awareness, see what is true, then let go and let be.”🧘🏻‍♀️

I like her sarcastic style and exquisite approach on common philosophical themes with unusual and peculiar characters and circumstances.

Zoile and Astrolabe experience a love story so unique and disappointing that Zoile decides to comit suicide by highjacking an airplane to destroy the Eiffel Tour.

"To love a place, you have to see it from above. This must be why we imagine God above the Earth: otherwise how would he be able to love us?"

This book is a great tool for morning meeting to show students how even small acts like including others can make a world of difference for some students.

This book masterfully uses color to show Brian‘s feeling of invisibility in the classroom. On the first page, Brian is drawn in black and white, the only non-colorful figure on the watercolor filled page. As Brian begins to make a new friend in new student Justin, he slowly starts to fill with color, ending the book just as colorful as the rest of the characters. This tells the reader that Brian no longer feels invisible.
