Welcome to Litsy!

First pick of the month! I listened to the audio but this would be a good book to own to revisit. I especially appreciated the section How to be Sane on the Internet. #NonFictionNovember #10BeforeTheEnd

A little like little Red, but with emphasis on adventure and overcoming fears. I'd kind of like an acorn full of magical healing soup. 🥚 🌽 X 5

Great message. A little sad. Would save for older readers 3rd and up

4⭐Lila Grier is afraid of the “what if”. But teacher helps her through this in the kindest way possible and leads to her becoming a teacher later in life. This book rhymes throughout and it‘s very well done. The illustrations are fun but a bit old-fashioned. The historical times you expect to be but when Lila becomes a teacher the pencil skirt and heels seems a little old-fashioned, but I love it. this is a great book to add to this series

Great book for 5th graders! Very relatable to that age group

Raina goes through multiple obstacles around food and anxiety. She learns how to control and deal with those challenges she faces.

“I wonder if it‘s too late to transfer to a different class?”

None of this is rocket science to anyone born before smart phones, had kids before the phone based childhood ( my kids born 99/02 are on the edge) and/or work in education. Girls and boyse are hit differently ( I only have boys) and at different ages. We need to return to a play based childhood at home and at school. Phones have no place at school and using them to entertain your child while you shop, drive, eat is a disaster
