Welcome to Litsy!

An injury left Sam, mother of 3 boys, paralyzed from the chest down. Then, she & her Australian family adopted an injured bird. Healing ensued. The gorgeous photography is my favourite part of this book because the text is a little heavy on schmaltz. ie: “angels come in all shapes & sizes” & “we are all our journeys, hopes & dreams clad in mortal wrapping paper. It‘s a feel-good true story & I recommend it.

I love Cameron Bloom‘s photos of life with a magpie his family rescued when it was an injured fledgling.

It must be said, there is no such thing as potty-training a magpie—at least so far as we could tell. After Penguin added her signature flourish to the furniture, carpet, bedspreads, curtains, hats, television and computers for the umpteenth time, we decided she was old enough to get her own apartment.

This is such a touching story and the photography is superb. It captures the emotion perfectly and is extremely moving.

This book was just gorgeous! Magpies are my favourite Australian birds, so interesting and amusing. They are highly intelligent and can also recognise different faces and themselves in a mirror. I‘m looking forward to seeing the film. This was my last book of 2020.

A tragic story with a inspirational ending. Beautiful photos. I wanted to see more. This book caught my eye when at the library. I'm glad I brought it home.

Ich fand dieses Buch hinreißend. Die Geschichte um den Vogel, der das Familienleben rettet, ist wirklich herzerweichend. Es ist erstaunlich, dass selbst in der dunkelsten Stunde Menschen wieder Mut fassen können. 🖒

I loved this book. So gorgeous. The bird's story and how it helped the family to survive. It's incredible, that people are able to find new hope even in the darkest hours. 🖒

Dann wollen wir mit dem nächsten beginnen. 😎

Let's start a new one 😎

I love this passage from the book 'Penguin Bloom'.
A story about a family finding healing & joy while recovering from a horrible tragedy. A little bird they rescue helps them along the way. The photography in this book is AMAZING❤️
