Welcome to Litsy!

This is an excellent book for grade schoolers on poverty. Topics covered include homelessness, lack of health care, lack of access to education, refugees, fundamental human rights, and ideas for action.

This brief history of Harvey Milk‘s dream for equality for gay people is a great introduction. It briefly touches on his work to change laws, his work with Gilbert Baker who created the first Rainbow Flag, as well as Milk‘s and George Moscone‘s assassinations in San Francisco. I like how the story ends with how the work for equality has carried on, but I wish marriage equality was specifically named.
