Welcome to Litsy!

I got to hear Lisa Ko talk about #TheLeavers tonight! I love hearing an author‘s perspective on his or her book, and the inspiration for the book was very interesting. When she was signing my book, Litsy came up. She has heard of Litsy, but wasn‘t sure what it was exactly so she asked about it. Maybe we‘ll have a new Litten on our hand 😉

Although it took me some time to get through this one, I did enjoy it. Ko was able to show me a different culture, an alternate point of view, and help me understand struggles I have never dealt with personally.

The book focuses on Deming, a boy who is left confused when one day his mother suddenly disappears. Only through the course of the story do you find out what really happened, and it can really hit home for many readers. If you're looking for more great stories that focus on people of color, give this one a read.

Guess what! Grown ups get free books when they sign up for their library's #summerreadingprogram too! Thanks @hillsborolibrary

This book is a fantastic #OwnVoices narrative that's essentially an inquisition of how abandonment, no matter the form, plays a huge part in the cultural identity crisis for a #Chinese boy, which is further inflamed by his adoptive white parents who move him into the suburbs & force him to assimilate into white culture laced w/ racist white privilege. It's a profound, raw experience of diaspora in America today. 4/5. ❤️ #theleavers #lisako

This book is breaking my heart. Deming, the main character, trying to adjust/not adjust to his new life. #family #cultureclash #mixed #mixedremixed #diversebooks #diverselit #theleavers #penbellwether #prizewinner

The prose is positively stunning.
