Welcome to Litsy!

“And he's just become the first black man to play major-league baseball in the twentieth century.“

I would use this book in a classroom as an option for students to write history reports on. Very informational read!

This is a great and easy read book for younger and older children. It's very informative and has a lot of good facts about Jackie Robinson's journey through the baseball league. This would be great for any child who loves baseball!

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Later on me and Charlie recited our Torah for him, but we did it the way Cab Calloway would, including the Hi-De Ho's.

"Playing is not just fun; it‘s what helps us grow."

This book can serve as a catalyst for discussions about the importance of play in children‘s lives and the role of community involvement in advocating for public spaces. Students can engage in a project where they identify a local issue, brainstorm solutions, and present their ideas, encouraging them to think critically about community action.

This is a true story of a group of kids in a small community who fight for their right to play in a park after it is closed for development. The narrative illustrates the power of collective action and the importance of outdoor play for children‘s development. The illustrations enhance the story, making it relatable and encouraging for young readers. This book not only highlights the joy of play but also the impact of community activism.

I‘ve firmly decided that I need my romances to feature a Golden Retriever type. I‘m not made for the badboy boyfriends that say stuff that makes my inner prudish old lady, square-self cringe. This one was great! Baseball, sweetness, loved it! The perfect book to check the romance box until the next Abby Jimenez gets released.
