Welcome to Litsy!

Ugh, can we stop with this BS?! This is doing just as much damage, especially to girls, as the “grit” fad before it. It blames YOU if you fail, never the person teaching you or a source being unclear. You failed, it‘s on you. Try harder. 🙄 This is damaging to girls. It‘s damaging to minorities. Can we just stop this? It breaks my heart that a minority woman trying to encourage women and girls is perpetuating this absolute nonsense.

3 ⭐ This book is fine. The illustrations are soft and dreamlike and while the story does rhyme and does have a cadence, that cadence is soft in areas. The story‘s about how everyone‘s different and that is perfectly OK because everyone is who they were made to be. I like the message in this book and overall it works well. But to me it‘s only so so.
