Welcome to Litsy!

I went looking for other picture books illustrated by Joe Bluhm, and in that regard, I found one! The art was easily the best part. The narrative? Schmaltzy, cliched, felt less like an arc than an abrupt end, and I have concerns about Grandpa's grasp of reality. I think it was supposed to be about the power of imagination, the power to create stories and to change the world by creativity, but it lost me somewhere. 🤷🏼‍♂️

We got to pick up the first book bundle today for the library summer reading club and we are very excited. We got 6 books for our 18 month old and 6 books for our 4 year old. I'm thankful that both were able to sign up since you can only pick a picture book option or a first reader option for each bundle and I feel like a 4 year old enjoys both picture and first reader books.

So excited to have won my girls a copy of Toronto Maple Leaf‘s Zachary Hyman‘s new book. Too bad My oldest is at a sleepover so we can‘t read it tonight. I‘ve read it myself and she is going to love it! 💚 #librarythingearlyreviewers

5⭐️ This story is simply wonderful. It‘s full of imagination and care. The illustrations are also top notch and help progress the tale. The best way to describe it is to say it's like a non-Christmas Polar Express. You just have to believe. We all have magic inside of us, you just have to believe it exists. Absolutely wonderful.
