Welcome to Litsy!

If I Had a Little Dream is a beautiful poem by Nina Laden. It is illustrated by Melissa Castrillon. It was published in 2017. This book talks about joy, love, and beauty in every day life. It is a gorgeous book.

The poem is through the voice of a young girl who dances, bicycles, and dreams her way through scenes that picture her wishes. These wishes are for a house, boat, dog, siblings, and more. Read the book to feel connected to this little girl and learn her wishes.

#AMonthOfSongs Day 11: #LoveMeNow says this dreamlike picturebook filled with dream-like light, decorative wishes, and curlicued hopes that convey love and comfort. This is a classic example of a picturebook that is deceptively simple, but never simplistic nor trite – sweet but not overly saccharine, just true: a quiet dream of all things light, wondrous, and beautiful.

Sweetly whimsical with lush illustrations

The story on this one is cute but nothing real special. The illustrations, though, are fabulous. Looking forward to more work by this illustrator.

A SWEET STORY about the truly beautiful things in life. I have created an Irish inspired digital storytelling to share post spring break! Happy St. Patrick's Day! 🍀 #UCFLAE3414sp17

If I had a little book,
I would name it Friend.
Friend would go wherever I went,
our story would never end.

I was starting to think this book was too sweet for me, then "If I had a little book, I would name it Friend. Friend would go wherever I went; our story would never end " melted my cold, dead heart. Pubs 2/7/17 #simonspringlist
