Welcome to Litsy!

I love Calli but she takes forever to do her business outside so here we are all cuddled up after a 15 minute walk in the snow. Hoping to get some reading done now that these dogs have taken care of all business. Zeus is looking silly stretching before he pounced on us a second after this. #dogsoflitsy

Beatrice can‘t wait to go back to school and be a THIRD GRADER / NINJA SPY until her BFF fails to show up ready for action. Will they be able to sort things out at recess or will Beatrice have to think of a new plan? #KindnessReads #tdscampread18 #kidlit #bookbento

A funny and upside down way to fix friendship issues so everyone wins! I REALLY hope Beatrice returns!!! Plus, the secondary characters are a delight, including Beatrice‘s family‘s delight in their multilingual, genius (or normal) baby.

I read this in one sitting while my daughter was at Yoga. Such a lovely book that I think is perfect for any child dealing with changing friendships. Geared towards 2nd and 3rd grade audience.

Beatrice was described to me as a modern day Clementine. Since my daughter is reading some Clementine as recommended summer reads, I thought this would be a good addition.
