As an unconventional librarian, and life-long learner, I constantly find myself curious about new topics and eager to share book reviews, experiences, research and media, contributing to an "Accidental Education" that only comes from living in a digital age, or a monumental library!
Kenyon, Rachel Tawil. (2025). You Can Sit With Me. Feiwel and Friends.
Head to toe, this whole book is about how if things are bad, or not going how you would like, you have a friend in me. Whether you are the new kid in town, need a seat on the bus, someone to understand, someone to listen, someone to play and love you for who you are, a friend is all you need.
If you need a friend, you can sit with me.When it seems nobody sees you and you just want to BE YOU,you can count on me.If life is hard or life is good or you just need a place to be, you can always sit with me.
That’s it! That’s the review. It’s a sweet, wholesome, heartwarming book. I highly recommended it both for teaching kids to BE that friend, but also to reassure them that these type of people are out there.
Benten, also called Benzaiten, is a goddess in Japanese culture, the concept of which, they believe originated in India prior to the 7th or 8th century. She is a water goddess, a patron of "all things that flow" -- music, art, literature, poetry, discourse, performing arts" as well as beauty and wealth. Shisho is Japanese for "librarian."
