Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Exquisitely illustrated with heart-warming messages about patience, kindness, and inclusivity, without the need of extensive dialogue to convey them, as Jun navigates a new home and school. Cleverly designed, too! After you read it, look under the dust jacket for a lovely nod to one of the story's characters.

Yuriko decided it is time to change her name and leave her Japanese American identity behind when the kids at school make fun of her. Dad decides it‘s time to take his new daughter around to also of their favorite spots. I enjoyed this picture book and loved the gentle way dad supports Yuriko. I used this for my tree on cover prompt in #RushathonChristmasBingo. #Picturebook #Inclusivity

When her family moves away from their predominantly Arab neighborhood, Yasmeen experiences racism and cultural conflict in ways she never had to deal with before. I enjoyed seeing the ways she learns to cope, navigate her Palestinian parents' conflict with their Israeli-Jewish neighbors, and help her refugee grandma adapt. #ComigOfAge #Inclusivity

Absolutely beautiful illustrations accompany inclusive and we'll composed information about each of these people who achieved or are achieving success in their field and laid major stones for disabilities rep. I enjoyed learning about so many different people from around the world with carried backgrounds, many of whom are alive and achieving today. #DisabilitiesRep #Inclusivity #PictureBook

These wholesome, inclusive comics are absolutely delightful. You've got self accept, anxiety, friend support, a kiwi with murderous intent, stimming, depression, cozyness, coffee, and all sorts of other topics all represented by adorable animals. It was also fun seeing some pandemic time comics in this collection. The goose character also cracked me up. #Inclusivity #MentalHealth #Webcomic #Comic

Pink isn't quite for everybody... 😂😸😂

The authors collaborated on this poetry project that asked the question, what would our poems have been like if we'd met in elementary school? The resulting collection tells the story of a Black boy and a white girl exploring their differences and learning how to learn about each other. #Poetry #PictureBook #Inclusivity

3.5 ⭐This story embodies its title. It‘s just a list of who all can like the color pink and who can‘t. The illustrations of what really make the story you have as much diversity as can possibly be put in both by skin tones and abilities but it all works. But just saying pink is for pilots and pink it‘s for tigers and pink it‘s for cats and it does work. And it brings Aerosmith to mind because pink is my new favorite flavor.

If you‘re looking for a book to introduce someone to anti racist ideas in a mostly non confrontational way, this might be a good book to start with. It didn‘t bring anything new to the conversation for me after reading other books on anti racism, but it was an enjoyable, conversational read. #Nonfiction #Antiracism #Inclusivity

I really liked this adorable, big-hearted picture book. The art is complex and beautiful, and it‘s packed full of inclusive characters. It was fun seeing the flurry of kitchen activity and slowly put together what the little kitchen was. I also loved the illustrated recipes in the front and back. I‘d buy an entire cookbook like that! (I mean, I already have one vaguely similar…) #PictureBook #Inclusivity #InclusivePicturebook
