Welcome to Litsy!

If everyone yells,
how will we be able to
hear one another?

Food for thought.

Starting to catch up on sleep and reading after an amazing Texas Library Association conference. We had 4800 librarians, authors, vendors, and volunteers in Dallas learning, connecting, and sharing their stories. And so many books, y‘all! Here are a the ones that came home with me 😍

A classic story which takes place in a nostalgic library complete with the smell of the library catalog, maybe this resonates with gen X... I'll be sharing it with the kids this week as part of our response to word of the month: reflect. But the theme is about breaking rules when necessary.

“No, David!“

This is a story about a boy who is consistently getting in trouble in at home and is not very good at listening and following directions. This book is a good story to read to a classroom. The illustrations are humorous and tell a story within in them. This book can be a good book to incorporate a lesson, or have a conversation with students about following directions and listening.

No, David! was published in 1998. This is a book about a little boy named David, who is always getting into trouble and not doing what he is supposed to be doing. This is a good book for teachers to have conversations with students about appropriate behaviors in the classroom.
