Welcome to Litsy!

Marjorie Agosin needs to write more fiction. This book delights!!!

I Lived on Butterfly Hill is a HF novel depicting a girl who is forced to abandon the only home she knew in Chile for a new life in Maine, USA. Winning the Pura Belpre award, this novel does an exceptional job at illustrating with words the hardships many had to endure during this time period. I would use this book for IR.

Favorite covers #riotgrams. Sometimes it just takes a cover to catch your eye, but when it's a fascinating story -- bonus! #favoritecovers @bookriot @Liberty

Got a book from my #TBR list, and its autographed! What a good day 📚🙌

This book was amazing in so many ways. I have already read it too many times to count and I still cry, laugh, and scream with the characters. It is by far one of my best reads and totally recommend it! The best part, it's based on he author's life as a girl, which makes this book so influential in more ways than I dare to count. Anyway, great read and I couldn't stop! Enjoy!

"Our souls can crumble when we don't care about our neighbors, or when we say hateful things about others, or exclude people for being different." It's quotes like this that make me want to read this book to my class this year. I hope the rest is okay for my age grouping!

So one week before school back in session. I've got to prep for the year. Here's my first read.

Love this book I am drawn to it
