Welcome to Litsy!

Big is a book that discusses individuality which can be very difficult for elementary age children. It is a very sweet book that I enjoyed reading and I think the uplifting message about being unique is great for kids to hear.

Nominated for the 2024 #WCCPBA I read this to all my classes and gave them an idea map for creating a definition of safety in their words because you can't share your feelings unless you feel safe. Their definition will be used for a character trait bulletin board. #underthedustcover

I would use this book in my classroom to talk about how to be kind to one another and how your words have an impact

Great message within this book and I loved how the author went about discussing this topic
