Welcome to Litsy!

All night long
The moonlit sea
tosses white chrysanthemums
to the rocky shore

This collection of poems lives up to its name, providing its readers with short poems all about life, nature, and all the creatures that inhabit the Earth. Easy to read and with a poetic structure, this collection is sure to keep young readers engaged and get them excited about poetry.

“tearing itself to shreds / On bared-wire fences.”

Featuring verses for every season from both famous and children's poets, and brought to life with enchanting illustrations by Melissa Sweet, this book is a perfect way to introduce young readers to the joy of poetry.

“Firefly July“ is a wonderful poetry book for kids that introduces the magic of words through short and sweet verses.

Sexier than I expected. :)

This book is book is beautiful. It is sublime. So poetic, so captivating. Seriously I can‘t put it down. I understand it can be a bit polarising because of the style of the writing. However it works so well for me. Can see why this had blown up on Book Tok. Seriously - We Were Liars by E.Lockheart. It is worth a try.

Maybe it was my mood lately but this one didn't hit as well as I expected. Two young teens spend the summer exploring the small town where they vacation and encounter adult situations and problems. A lot of angst and grief. I liked the art style and how it was done in all one color.

My amazing bf got me this series and I couldn‘t resist starting it today. So far, so good! 😊
