Welcome to Litsy!

Okay, I'm most definitely projecting but, the part where the lesson of the book seems to be that you don't have to be perfect and giving all the time, you should take time for yourself, great, and okay, yes, you can't take on the responsibility of changing other people or cleaning up all their chaos, but...not a single hint of a recognition of the need for a change from the rest of Egg's roommates? 1/?

Here are some suggestions for January‘s prompt. #fairytaleretellingchallenge #readingchallenge #readingchallenge2025

A children's book that portrays care and humanity
To overcome a crisis, a person needs to allow themselves to experience the full range of emotions that arise and receive validation through the empathy of others
When giving advice, people tend to take less ownership of their feelings and their healing process
But when they share and experience their emotions, they take ownership, enabling healing
Our empathy makes this possible
So touching!

4 ⭐ This book is lovely. While it looks like a picture book it‘s a small chapter book that is fully illustrated in color. It tells the story of evergreen a little squirrel who must go deliver medicine to Grandma Oak. To do so they must cross the forest which is dark and scary and has strange and dangerous things happen. But Evergreen learns that adventure awaits if you‘re only brave enough to take it. This book was lovely w excellent illustrations

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.
