Welcome to Litsy!

This is a fiction book. I love this book and believe everyone should have it in their class. This is a book to read aloud. Nikolai knows he wants to be a good person he just does not know how to be. He goes on a journey in search of answers. Nikolai comes across a turtle, heron, monkey and a dog who try to help him find his way.

When is the best time to do things? Who is the most important one? What is the right thing to do? A picture book that attempts to answer these questions, based on a Tolstoy story. It is sweet and thoughtful.

What a sweet book! Read this with my 10yo son this morning about a boy who is struggling with making the right choices & being kind. He seeks out wisdom from his fury friends & in turn gets the answers to his 3 questions. A sweet read with lovely watercolor illustrations & a great story to read at the start of the day.

#WitchyReads Day 11: Adapted from Leo Tolstoy‘s story, this book raises #Three impt questions: When is the best time to do things? Who is the most important one? What is the right thing to do? Nikolai, a ruminative boy, wants to be a good person, and he acknowledges that it isn‘t always easy. He intuitively sensed that if he knew the answers to the above questions, he would be his best self at all times. My Review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-9kr

Today my youngest daughter came home with a #bookhaul from school. She was picked to chose 10 books to bring home and keep forever, courtesy of the #bookharvest. (Youngest and doggy pictured as well. 👧🏽🐶)

For those with little ones who'd Like to see L. Tolstoy's philosophy turned into a children's book your wish has been granted!

I love philosophy and have exposed my kids to it since they were little with my favorite kids books. Jon J Muth is my favorite kids author. Philosophy with beautiful water color pictures, who could ask for more?

What is the right thing to do?
Based on a story by Leo Tolstoy. I believe that was the selling point when I purchased this lovely book years ago. Thanks to #24in48 and #Mounttbr , I finally read it. It touched my heart. I know that I will revisit this tale many times.

If you are into philosophy written for children this is the book for you. Added bonus the art work is fantastic!
