Welcome to Litsy!

During this blog we turn the Authors Spotlight onto Lukas Klessig and his book “Words With My Father: A Bipolar Journey Through Turbulent Times”.

Words With My Father offers a gripping portrait of the evolution of a young man's mental illness and how it manifested into a dramatic and often dangerous existence through the turbulence of the Civil Rights, Peace and Conservation movements.

p. 137: 'True peace is not merely the absence of some negative force - tension, confusion, or war; it is the presence of some positive force - justice, good will, and brotherhood.'

Started reading this after our newest Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson mention this in her memoir.🙌🏾

“I was the timekeeper”

This book would be awesome for Black History Month. It would be a great over group classroom lesson. This book could also tie in really well in a poetry.

First off the illustrations in this book are amazing and so well done. The story is very inspiring and could be great for children.
