Welcome to Litsy!

1. My elder kiddo is coming home from college for the first time since we dropped them off in August! I'm SO excited! (And we're getting COVID boosters tomorrow, cooking a low-key dinner Thursday, then Christmas decorations on Friday.)
2. The tagged really influenced how I see Thanksgiving and the way that history shifts into legend, particularly as it serves the interests of the dominant culture. (Sorry... buzz kill.)

Just admiring my color coordinating book stack 📚

Too long to read aloud to a class in my setting, but I could see students who like narrative nonfiction enjoying this. The word count is high enough that it could be reformatted as a short chapter book. The illustrations are beautiful. This is actually a good example of a picture book for older students, which is ironic because people push older students away from picture books.

Really good true story and great illustrations by the author. Would be good to read each Thanksgiving.

My daughter, Jordy, also a library worker, but for SL City, gave me this and I will read it soon. 😄

It isn‘t the tagged book (which is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read), but it came in today‘s mail and I have 5 hot minutes to myself to read it. Laundry and dishwasher both spinning for the umpteenth time today, both kids playing outside with a neighbor kid in lovely 56 degree weather.

1. Pilgrims, right?
2. Accompanying my children to Junior Scientist Day at my spouse's workplace. I suspect it was primarily an excuse for the grown-up scientists to play, which helped make it super awesome!
3. Leftovers and an early bedtime.
4. Nine living, two deceased.
5. On it!

An extraordinary book on the beginnings of America. A real eye opener. Fascinating not a dry text book at all. Wonderful, wonderful!

I have a very Mayflower-esque Litfluence.
