Welcome to Litsy!

This seems appropriate for National Redhead Day - the history of the Redhead!

When buying my #DoubleSpin I found out that Write Yourself A Lantern is actually some kind of notebook. I ordered it anyway, but came along this illustrated poem as well. Since there is not much to read in my actual #DoubleSpin I count this one for the challenge.

This poem is about hair and a racism. It's strong and impressive. In few words Acevedo shows us how political hair is, how it shows oppression and white privilege.

My favorite book first this Christmas!!!

All days can be improved by reading picture books with dinosaurs. 🦖 🦕
If Dinosaurs Had Hair is deliciously silly with great art. Whack of the P-Rex stretches the narrative to make an illustrated (sadly black and white) short chapter book for young readers, but refreshingly doesn't seem to push any educational content! Just fun monster hunting!

5 ⭐Adam Rex is always sure to make you laugh and he has done it again. Our main child has gum stuck in their hair. Scissors don‘t work they get stuck as well. As different people walk through the door, they have different ideas on how to remove the gum, and they all get stuck in the hair. Until eventually, the kid can‘t take it anymore. He yells for everyone to leave him alone please and walks out the door.

“A crisp but subtle line.“ This quote I think describes the illustrations and as well as the book as a whole.

Such a sweet picture book! I may have teared up a bit reading as the mom searched for ways to support her daughter. This story touches on social aesthetic elements of being trans when Trinity expresses wanting long hair because she's a trans girl and it will help other people see who she is, and it drives into autism experiences when discussing the way Triniti struggles with the sensory stimulus of having long hair. #LGBTQ #Autism #LGBTQIA

This is a beautiful book about the culture of Nokomis, a Native tribe, hair. Also my first new ereader library book. How this girl loves growing her hair out. It gets shares a difficult part, of the “reform schools” taking the children‘s hair. I love how it simply describe each year of her life and how it is woven in her hair. Hair that connects her to Mother Nature.
