Welcome to Litsy!

Reading other reviews of this on Litsy, I completely agree with the existential undertones in this one - consider, to a degree, a basic intro to existentialism. The illustrations are the reason to read this with a younger audience, showcasing diversity and a sense of community and harmony. Letter W for #BBRC #A2Z , and this completes the category. A pretty graphic illustrating this will be posted later (when I have time!)

We stopped by the library today. #kidsoflitsy #boysreadtoo #blackboyjoy #brilliantblackboy

1. Work Saturday with a preschool science program on the five senses! Then dinner for a friend's birthday and chores all day Sunday, probably
2. 5'7
3. 1.5 years in this city, 7 months in this house
4. The Knowledge by Martha Grimes (ARC), Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison
5. Here I am, waiting for storytime to start!

Existential angst for the grade-school set. The visuals in this book are stunning. It probably would have been better as a wordless picture book. The text is abstract philosophical ideas, which I don‘t have a problem with, but it is repetitive and offers no insight outside of the pictures.

Why Am I Me? is a beautiful RF story that teaches children about diversity, tolerance and acceptance of others. It also teaches them to always stay true to themselves. It would be perfect for either RA or GR.

And that, dear Littens, is a wrap on my library book review bonanza! Hopefully all of these lovely books quickly find another appreciative reader to take them home and my library card gets some breathing room! (Though I have a bunch of holds waiting for me.🙄)
