Welcome to Litsy!

My grand baby will be 10 tomorrow. Just rude 🤪😅😭

At least I‘m his favorite person in the whole wide world. 💙 AND he loves books and reading.

Switched out our Christmas books with some of our January reads ❄️❤️❄️

Shadows on the wall
Noises down the hall
Life doesn't frighten me at all

Bad dogs barking loud
Big ghosts in a cloud
Life doesn't frighten me at all

This poem is a celebration of bravery in the face of adversity. Maya Angelou is an amazing writer and her use of repetition helps readers connect and feel the poem. This poem can help children overcome their fears by understanding that nothing will scare them. It can help them face their fears in real life.

This poem shows resilience and courage. The poem empowers the reader to face life's challenges without fear. There‘s vivid imagery and repetition that creates an amazing sense of strength, making it clear that various aspects of life, such as shadows, loneliness, and even wild animals, are not something to be fearful of.

I am absolutely in love with the story and art style of this book!

Garlic is just so adorable and yet courageous to have gone on this adventure that has been forced upon her by her "friends". With nothing more than a will to listen and by being her kind self was able to figure out what she needed to do to help everyone.

“Life doesn't frighten me at all. No, they don't frighten me at all. They don't frighten me at all. It's only in my dreams.“

I think this collection of poems would be great in a middle-elementary classroom. As students get older and experience the challenges that come with life these poems can transport them into world where they can see how others are also going through difficult times but end up making it out. I would recommend this book as it is supportive and has a sense of creativity.

This collection of poems is written by the iconic Maya Angelou and is accompanied by illustrations from the works of Jean-Michael Basquiat. Angelou uses evocative words that are emphasized by the illustrations and make them easy to read and a want to continue to read. The poems connect to the reader as they encompass the challenges of life and how you can overcome them.

1. A few years ago we started doing Lobsters for Christmas Dinner 🦞 so that‘s been our family‘s new tradition. Def 1 I look forward to.
2. I love the Word Search.
3. Book + blanket + boozy hot cocoa with cookies in the oven. I only have a fake tree now, I used to like a real tree so maybe an evergreen candle too
