Welcome to Litsy!

I haven‘t posted for quite awhile but I still scroll Litsy when I can. Been busy with health & work-related life stuff but seem to be getting back on track, finally. Just wanted to say hi & share a pic of the new-to-me barrister bookcase I recently got from my grandmother. Bottom shelf is a set of photography encyclopedias & top shelf holds my favorite photography books, some other photo-related books & fave cameras.

The author embarks on multiple walks, each taken with different experts in their fields. I've always been fascinated by the relationship between knowledge about a subject and its effect on our attentiveness (or inattentiveness) toward certain details. Or simply the fact that we're too busy to notice these details. 4⭐️

“The cat walked through the world with its whiskers, ears, and paws, and the bird saw A CAT.”

This story would be a great implementation into the classroom for a deeper dive into identity. I also think this book would be a great lesson opener for ideas of what point of view is.

They All Saw A Cat, written by Brendan Wendell is a 2017 Caldecott Honor award winning book. This book had beautiful images with bright colors that jump off the page. The story had beautiful point of views that open up the reader into the cat‘s setting. Overall the theme of the book of identity resonates with me deeply

“The cat knew them all, and they all knew the cat“

I would love to use this book in my classroom to describe that we are all unique and see things in a different light, just like the cat! That does not make one right/wrong, and embrace our differences!

They all saw a cat, by Brendan Wenzel published in 2016, won a Caldecott award in 2017. This book was a great picture book showing the different perspectives of how we see the world. There were lots of different shapes and sizes and colors of characters to show the way that animal “sees“ the world. Not only was there lots of texture and color but the theme flowed beautifully throughout exploring the unique illustration.

“The cat knew them all. And they all knew the cat.“
