Welcome to Litsy!

This morning, a good friend gave me this cute pillow just because. 🩷

Back to the library because I forgot to pick up a hold yesterday. More reading and more check outs ensued.

Guzman's book began with her struggling to understand her Hispanic parents political leanings. I appreciated this as something of a black sheep in my own family - how do you love someone that disagrees with you to the point of thinking the vast majority of people who think like you are idiots, demons, or both?

A solid pre-inaugural listen. May we stay curious and humble even in dangerous and divided times.

I would use this book as a classroom library book or a read aloud for my students. I thnk that another great way that we could incorporate this book into the classroom is using it as a comparison from the Disney classic book the Litter Mermaid and work with the students comparing and contrasting the different elements of the stories.

The Little Mermaid by Jerry Pinkney is a classic, traditional literature book that tells the story of the littlest sea princess that is not content with her life that she lives under the sea. Melody is an explorer who wonders what lies above the water especially of a girl that she has watched from the ocean. But to meet her comes with a price.

This book tells the inspiring story of Albert Einstein, from a curious boy to one of the world‘s most celebrated scientists. The book captures his journey of wonder and discovery, showing how his imagination and curiosity led to groundbreaking ideas that changed our understanding of the universe. This book encourages children to embrace curiosity and see the power of imagination.
