Welcome to Litsy!

This memoir astonished and altered me. Coming of age as an American Sikh in the aftermath of 9/11, Valarie Kaur‘s dedication to making a difference and her extraordinary courage in the face of hate crimes, police brutality, and sexual assault are made only more remarkable by her resilient compassion toward those who‘d harm her. Read this if you believe a better world takes both courage and kindness and you‘d like to become more of both.

I love foreshadowing in history. What did Iraq become? Well, it became another Vietnam with Afghanistan that destroyed a Bush presidency. If you would like to read about the Iraq war that I consider another Vietnam that destroyed a Bush presidency, feel free to look back on what we posted and reread Days of Fire also by Peter Baker. #themanwhoranwashington #peterbaker #susanglasser #daysoffire #iraq #conflict #history #foreshadowing #bush

“There is one part of enemy pie that I cant do, for it work you need to spend a day with your enemy“

This story used illustration to convey body language to convey emotions and feelings. You can see characters showing a range of emotions, from curiosity and hesitancy to friendship and joy.

This is a story about friendship, misunderstandings, and overcoming differences. A young boy, has an enemy and his dad suggests a remedy: making an enemy pie.

This was a wonderful read, I just finished it but I know it works. Because I applied some of the principles I'd read today, during my speech. It was a presidential debate like event, where 4 of my other competitors also spoke. I applied the pathos to best use, mixing humor and adding logos to the mix. Guess what! I won the debate(also the elections)!

Now take this from President of a School Parliament : read it, it's filled with knowledge.

I've been an Oliver Jeffers fan since I first discovered The Incredible Book Eating Boy. I haven't loved all of his books but when he gets them right (IMO!) they're brilliant. Yesterday I sat and savoured this. It's quite long on pages, short on words but every single word carefully chosen. It's about humans and space and conflict, earth and history. A beautiful book.

This is about a young boy who is upset when a new kid moves to the neighborhood and doe not treat him fairly. He decides to go to his father for help and comes up with a plan to make an enemy pie that will vanish enemies and all the worries away.

4 ⭐ Wordless picture books are so hard to do and do right, and I think this one does it right. This is about two creatures that meet at a party and a line has been drawn. But they‘re trying to get each other ‘s attention and communicate when there are no words. This story could be almost anything but it‘s to me it‘s about playing together and finding common interests. The artwork feels both retro and 70s but a modern take.
