Welcome to Litsy!

I love cherries in the summer!

One of my favorite middle grades is Caterpillar Summer.

When visiting my uncle in Key West we were able to see dolphins. 😍

I read this book because it's a Golden Sower Award nominee. It's such a great book! All the feels..all the stars. Absolutely loved it.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Being a parent is a kind of promise. A promise to stand by someone even if you think they‘re making a mistake. To love who you get, not who you think you‘re going to get.”

This book deals with many serious topics but it isn‘t so DARK as some of the middle-grade I have read lately. Definitely a great, heartwarming read.

Okay so this could have been so good. Like so good. But the Mom was neglectful and I disliked her greatly. Uber bad parenting if you can even call it that. I did like learning how Chicken reacted to the world and I loved Cat‘s love for her family. I loved the grandparents but the Mom is a jerk. Cat should never have had the weight of the world on her shoulders and ugh. Just ugh. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Such a great summer read for kids and adults!

Caterpillar Summer was a touching novel about Cat who takes care of her brother who has autism since her mom is single and works several jobs to provide for them. They end up with their grandparents who she has never met and learns a lot about her family history, making a new friend along the way. The ending even made me cry. Featuring Calli in her snuggle ball.
