Welcome to Litsy!

And now I want to hug a sunflower seed. 🥹 This series is wonderful. Just that gentle, hopeful way of relaying the fact that we're all flawed and different and capable of change and deserving of belief in our ability to do so. Love the art. Very difficult not to hear the “baaaaaaad seed“ refrain to the tune of 'Bad to the Bone', which I presume was on purpose. 😁😉

I‘m starting this chunkster tonight. I know I won‘t get through many, mainly aiming to read a Christmas Carol for #whattheDickens. But I do ❤️ my Dickens!!

Doing a unit about respect and having the kindergartners read to me. This book amazed them. We talked about who in our school should talk to the bad boy so he can turn in the same direction as the other kids on the last page.

“When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind.”

Auggie Pullman is an ordinary kid with an extraordinary face. Starting middle school after being homeschooled, he struggles to be accepted but inspires others to choose kindness. This book is a good lesson to teach students about acceptance and kindness.

This book tells the story of August Pullman, a boy born with a facial difference, as he starts attending school for the first time in the fifth grade. Wonder explores themes of kindness, acceptance, and the challenges of fitting in, as Auggie navigates friendships, bullying, and family dynamics.
