Welcome to Litsy!

This is a story told through alternating timelines including Matthew in the U.S. in 2020 and 3 cousins in Soviet Ukraine and the U.S. in the 1930s. Mila has grown up never knowing want and believing the party propaganda, Nadiya‘s family has starved in the Holdomor but she manages to show up at Mila‘s door to ask for help, and Helen‘s family has immigrated to the U.S. but is still in touch with Nadiya.

This is a thorough analysis of North Korea‘s history, focused on the time prior to Kim Jong-Un takes power. This was published in 2009, so there have been changes but still a great starting point. Excellent research and reporting using details from defectors. Unbelievable and horrific, the way these people have lived through famine, torture, and repression from their government. Everyone should read this. From my #AuldLangSpine list from @Singout

Refreshed my #Roll100 list for 2025. These are the first three books from the list. Each from @Singout ‘s #auldlangspine list…so essentially, I cheated and made my list after I knew the numbers. Forgive me! I‘ll be better in February. 😉

This book is a very inspiring story about a little boy who was able to build a windmill from scraps

This book would be a great book when discussing renewable energy. You could have students create windmills and other renewable energy projects

“I will make it. I will build it. I will show them.”
