Welcome to Litsy!

Banned book: This is a favorite in our house. A few years ago I started buying more diverse stories & this one was love. My daughter wanted to know if I knew how to make fry bread. I never understand the whole, we have to ban this because it makes kids feel bad. It doesn‘t make kids feel bad, it makes them curious. They want to know if it‘s a tradition we share. The only people it makes feel bad is people that become defensive over the past.

This book serves as a great symbol of what different families and cultures are made of! The illustrations are great. It is a burning story about food, love, culture, and family!

“Look, Uhkomi, I have sweetgrass!”

This book would be an awesome edition into Native American culture. And would be an excellent addition to classroom library.

Illustrations in this book are amazing. The contents of the story were also really good. Overall I would recommend this book for a classroom library.

“ these marks were good for my parents, we are happy and proud that I was born,” she continues. “I am likewise proud to wear them. Most Ghanaian parents don‘t celebrate them this way anymore, but it was once an important tradition.”

I would use this book in my classroom to talk about diversity and different cultures.

A story about Musqon learning to pick and braid sweetgrass from her grandmother. This was written by Suzanne Greenlaw, who is Maliseet, and Gabriel Frey, who is Passamaquoddy (both are groups of native peoples from around Maine).
