#MagnificentMarch Day 25: The young boy in this story has just moved to a new place with his family. The art depicts this sense of being uprooted, the #chaos, and how everything appears incomprehensible. Even the signs seem like a meaningless jumble of letters. The young boy derives a sense of comfort from the tiny little seed that he brought from home. My review of this incredible fusion wordless text here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-ciM

#MusicalNewYear Day 29: The young boy in this wordless story has just moved to a new place with his family. The art depicts this sense of being uprooted, the chaos, and how everything appears incomprehensible. Even the signs seem like a meaningless jumble of letters. His journey to finally declaring #ImHere or “Here I Am” is deeply moving, credible and masterfully woven. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-ciM

Melissa_J Yes! And I‘m trying to cut down on my Litsy time so I can read more, but I always get sucked into doing the lists 🤣 7y

Kaye Thanks for answering. I spend lots more time on here than with a book most days. 7y

Q84 I used to love sour cream! Now not as much. I still use it but not with as many foods. 7y

Q84 Oh No! I'm so sorry for your loss! 7y

Booknerd2 @Q84 Thank you. It was devastating. She was such a sweetheart💜. When the time is right I‘ll think about getting another. Too soon right now. 7y

Booknerd2 @aims42 That‘s awesome. I‘m in Davenport. Pretty close to Clinton. Don‘t know of many Iowans on here. 7y

Aims42 I don‘t either 😕 But plenty of awesome people so it works out lol 7y

Q84 @Booknerd2 absolutely and totally understandable. I've been there. The only reason I have cats now is my children. Otherwise I don't think I'd have any. It's always heartbreaking when one passes. 7y

DHill Fellow Iowan in Cedar Rapids here. 👋 7y

Booknerd2 @DHill 👋🏼 Yay. Another one!!! Spent quite a bit of time up there while my son was going to Cornell. Mt. Vernon is a cute little town but not much to do there. 7y

Kaye Welcome and thanks for replying ♥️ 7y

staci.reads @DHill 🖐 also an Iowan ❤ Just passed through Cedar Rapids yesterday driving my daughter back to U of I 😊 7y

DHill Hi there @staci.reads ! It‘s always exciting to meet fellow Iowans here on Litsy. I graduated from U of I (a long time ago!) 😀 7y

Booknerd2 @DHill @staci.reads I‘m a huge Hawkeye fan and a proud mom of a Cornell College graduate. 😊 So Happy to meet fellow Iowans on here. 😃 7y

syasutake My father lives in Sisaket, Thailand. Are you anywhere near there? 8y

pppooraikul @syasutake Nope, it's about 8-9 hours drive from where I am but I've been there on a holiday once. 😁 What does he do there? It's not that popular for tourists so I guess it must be something else? 8y

syasutake He's retired...his wife (they have been married 8 years) is from that area. He lives a quiet life there and seems to be happy. I hope to visit him in Thailand someday. 8y

pppooraikul @syasutake I see. Many people do that. And you should come to Thailand someday! You'll be very welcome. 😁😁 8y

1. Here I am with my granddog Francis. All tucked in wearing my pj's.
2. A is for Alibi for #whodunitbymail.
3. I plan on doing absolutely nothing but reading. And maybe eating. It's been a hell of a week. Time to relax.
4. It is hot hot hot here. And humid. About 104 degrees with a heat index of about 110 degrees. Awful!
5. Dinner was a potluck at my youngest daughter's (age 16) band camp finale. ❤️❤️

Rachbb3 Wow, it's really hot where you are! I won't complain about my 90's. Cute pup. 😍 8y

Here I Am | Sonia Sanchez, Patti Kim

pick

A wordless picture book showcasing the feelings of a boy who has just immigrated to the US. He's overwhelmed and scared and angry until he finally ventures out and learns about things to love in his new home.

The art's not really my taste but the storyline is pretty well-done and the topic is especially important.
