Welcome to Litsy!

Package slip from Hive.co.uk 😆

Middle grade read. After the loss of her middle sister and Mother, Sol's Dad remarries and moves her and her littlest sister to the US. Then he returns to the Philippines, leaving behind the girls to contend with their step mom, grief, and finding support in unlikely places. Enjoyable read about the bonds of sisters.

The Land of Forgotten Girls is a book written by Erin Estrada Kelly and published in 2016. This book has won the Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature. It is about two girls who lost their sister and mom. Their father leaves and all they have is their evil stepmother. Sol must try to protect her sister Ming from false hope.

As a teen, I LOVED this book! It was truly one of my favorites.

You think you know the story of Snow White? Think again. Grump, an unusual dwarf fascinated with the surface world is here to set the record straight.

This was an adorable and an interesting twist on a rather classic fairy tale. Grump is a snarky & curios POV that you can‘t help but sympathize with. Snow was spunky & clever. The narrator was perfect for the tone. I really enjoyed this, but felt the epilogue was entirely unnecessary. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

An old children‘s book I never read, but it was a cute read! Follows a handful of kids and their worries ranging from having a crush to not wanting their stepmother. Cute read filled with British humor that may not be everyone‘s cup of tea. A bit of a product of it‘s time, but I liked it.

Just trying to get through my physical TBR, and trust me I‘ve got a long way to go haha. Promise it‘s not all comics and children lit. 😂

4/5🌟

Shaskan‘s twist on this TL story makes it a must add to elementary classrooms! The wicked stepmothers side of the story will have readers second guessing the classic tale. This story would do well in a DR setting. An article from ERIC explains the benefits of DR, and the techniques that can be implemented in the classroom. https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED372435.pdf

Watching some Xmas episodes of Friends and Big Bang Theory while doing some #HolidayCrafts

In hindsight....this may be a bad idea 🤣🤣🤣
