Welcome to Litsy!

A child that has superpowers and as soon as she starts to walk, she becomes a blur. How does the family deal with her. This is a second grade reader book. #ISpyBingoJuly @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks

“We humans love a lot of people in a lot of different ways. We love our families, our friends, and our partners. But do animals do the same? It certainly looks like it.“

One activity would be to create “Animal Portraits.“ After reading about a specific animal, such as elephants or crows, students can draw self-portraits inspired by the animal's unique characteristics. They can add animal-like features, and write a short description of how they are similar to the animal. This activity encourages creativity, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all living things.

Nonfiction- “Humanimal“ by Christopher Lloyd is a captivating exploration of the remarkable similarities between humans and animals. Through vivid illustrations and engaging text, the book reveals how animals exhibit behaviors and emotions that mirror our own. From grief and joy to complex social structures and problem-solving abilities, “Humanimal“ challenges our perception of the animal kingdom.

Geared to kids ages 4 to 7, this book deals with every child's dream of making a summer vacation last forever. This book shows them how by using a handful of sand. #ISpyBingoJuly @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks

I‘m so exited that #WinterGames2024 are going to start in just a few weeks and to be a part of team #HolidayBookDragons

I‘m looking forward to the games, the teams, earning points and reading as much as I can.

Beautiful. A Palestinian author and artist pairing telling a simple story that, per the author's note, “can help families find the words to begin this important conversation“. Surprised by how hard it hit me in just a few pages, but I don't think it would in any way be too upsetting or grown-up for young children to read with their parents. So happy my library has a copy to share. Includes a back page that could function as a leaflet of terms.

An adorable reimagining of Baba Yaga as a witch from Santa Fe. I loved all of the nods to the inspiration, like the roadrunner legs and the prickly pear fence. I'm not sure why the girl looks like she stepped out of Tim Burton's imagination in most scenes. #Retelling #BabaYaga #Witch #PictureBook
