Welcome to Litsy!

Such a beautiful story about a son and his dad who have to move from their favorite blue house. It showed all the faults with the house that they loved and how they made their new home loved just as much as the blue house. Wonderful graphics.

My son picked this one out, but it‘s a bit long for him. We‘ll be reading it over two nights. A bittersweet beginning to this book. Deals a little with death of a loved one. Mostly about transitions in life. Something I‘m not sure my son can remember since we‘ve finally stayed in the same place for two years. (He has trouble with long term memory.) Would be a good book to read if a child is moving to a new place.

I read this to my class today - what a sweet story. It made me think of the #naturalitsy group on here because this is like We Are the ARK for kids.

I‘m in the Midwest getting hit with a snowstorm ❄️ so today has been: cozy reading, snack, football, snack, nap, snack, cozy reading 😆 📚 I enjoyed this YA fiction novel originally published in 2008. It was fun and nostalgic. As much as I loved having a physical book, I‘m picking up my Kindle for my next read!

2⭐This is about an introverted little girl who doesn‘t want to make friends or be around other people. She gets a new dog that must be taken outside and she slowly gets used to people and eventually makes her own friend. I understand this story and maybe because we‘re going through this with my niece I don‘t like this story. Mainly because we already have dogs and that doesn‘t help. The story is fine. Illustrations are nice. It‘s just not my thing
