Welcome to Litsy!

I colored this picture on one of my coloring apps. I wanted to write a haiku about this movie.

Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas
I only watched the movie once but I liked it
There‘s debates online about whether it‘s a Halloween or Christmas movie
I‘ve heard it‘s a Christmas movie but I watched it during the Fall when I saw it the first time
It depends on when you want to watch it, I guess

Continuing this weeks series of days of the week for my daily haikus & finally… we are at Friday! Tried to tie in the joy, I‘ll be sharing my #5JoysFriday post later.😉 I still have work hours to get through but the promise of the weekend is there.

Friday‘s here at last!
Weekend‘s promise in the wind
Fills me with much joy

I would love to see this book used as a mentor text! I think students could enjoy writing through the POV of a random object in their life. For instance, an object in a thrift store like the type writer, or even their own pencil!

I loved this book! It was very short and sweet and told a beautiful story. This book presents an interesting point of view, that of a type writer, and a young boy going through hardships, and prompts the reader to think about the different ways we can view the world. The story is a very quick read, and once I started, I could not put it down! PLUS there a little bit of found family within the text if that is your cup of tea.

I either never read this one or forgot most of the story, or maybe it's shorter in the comic strip versions? It's been so long. The beginning and ending seemed familiar.

I really love Moominmamma just relentlessly adopting anyone who needs a mother.

Thanks to @Monalyisha talking about the Moomin books, I decided to go and read them! And turns out that though I only remembered for sure reading Moominland Midwinter, I'm pretty sure I had remembered this one. It doesn't entirely fit what I remember about the series; I think I saw someone else mentioning that it doesn't quite fit, so I guess we'll see. It's charming all the same.

I have had this on loop all day. 250 years later, and we're still fighting this. Thanks to all who went out there today to fight the good fight. I got blindsided with a hellacious cold and didn't want to spread my germs, but I've been there in spirit. #resist 💙✊🏻♥️

If you've never seen Schoolhouse Rock, especially this one, it's worth 3 minutes of your time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvOZs3g3qIo

Such a beautiful story about a son and his dad who have to move from their favorite blue house. It showed all the faults with the house that they loved and how they made their new home loved just as much as the blue house. Wonderful graphics.
