Welcome to Litsy!

it beckons with smells

go outside today

this is a beautiful book about appreciating the outdoors. It looks like water color and immediately draws you in

This page talks about sometimes when we are outside we are still inside because of the car.

This book is absolutely stunning and the contrast on pages where inside and outside are showcased are remarkable. I absolutely love the illustrations and the meaning behind this book.

Outside in published in 2020 is an incredible story about how the outside is not as far as we may believe it is. The lines are breathtaking and the illustrations look like art. It is stated in the book that the illustrator uses dried flower stems and thread to create some of the lines. Absolutely beautiful.

“Outside sings to us with chirps and rustles and tap-taps on the roof.”

This books illustration are vivid, colorful, and impactful.

Outside in by Deborah Underwood, illustrated by Cindy derby is a great picture books that shows how we are connected to each other and the universe. The illustrations are smudged and colorful. It does a great job showing all the ways we are connected. (2020)

5⭐️! If you want to city kids to understand a connection with nature, read them this book. #BBRC PB Letter O @LibrarianRyan #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers @StayCurious

I call books like this "gazing books". Take your time and savor the illustrations. On pages like this, it takes a lot of background knowledge to appreciate the significance of the message. #everybodybooks

The Caldecott Honor book Outside In is a fantastic RA-RF book to read to your students. It is a lovely story of a girl who explains that we sometimes forget that the outside is right there begging us to go play instead of sitting inside sad! Throughout the story she explains the different hidden ways the outside try‘s to get our attention to go outside. The hidden messages are amazing and I love this book so much. #UCFLAE3414SP21

Caldecott 2021 book it shows us all the wonderful things that “outside” shows while we‘re inside us such as bird, the sun , and the rain . It also tells us when you wake up and go to bed . All the wonderful things that outside brings to us even inside. The book could be used as a RA and the UDL can be 7.2 using ESOL 22 and 30 since this is a picture book you can have students create visuals of their favorite things to do outside. #ucflae3414sp21
