Welcome to Litsy!

Charlie Mackesy‘s message to teachers today on Instagram. Thank you #teachersofLitsy!

Found this on Mackesys Instagram today. And I agree, still it's so hard not to do it! @Moonprismpower

Forgot to post earlier, but these four books are my favourites from 2021. The left ones I bought after reading library copies and I loved them so much that I had to buy them! 📚📚📚

Basically, this book seems to me to be the Jonathan Livingston Seagull of its generation — full of pat and sappy notions of love and friendship. However, the illustrations are gorgeous and the sentiments, while unoriginal and pat, are not untrue, so I gave this book a pick. Just look at the lovely picture with the characters by the water!

June pick for #12booksof2021 I loved this sweet book! 💕

such a feel good story #readinggoal #readinglife #audiophile

A way to be kind to yourself is to read this book. 💕💕😆😍 I keep thinking that this book includes all the things my therapist used to tell me that I always neglected to write down. It‘s a wonderful reminder of the really important things about life.

One of our greatest freedoms is how we react to things.

Loved it so much, I went back to the beginning after finishing it. Great affirmation of self-worth, friendship, and connection.

So happy I read this at this time of year. The message was truly needed.

So beautiful! Check out Charlie Mackesy‘s Instagram if you need more of his artwork and thoughtfulness after reading the tagged book.

This is a lovely book of quotes and illustrations. It‘s endearing, reminiscent of Winnie the Pooh. Four friends in this tale have heart warming conversations, and as they ask each other questions, they learnt about the uncertainties in life like fear, and worry. A beautiful book to remind us to love; to be kind to others and ourselves. Good to get yourself a hard copy as it‘s worth rereading.

A gem of a book. Thank you @Soubhiville

There is something special about when a book comes up that you‘ve read. This quote showed up in my devotional today. And it‘s so so so true!!! 🥰😍💕💕💕

This book is beautiful! It has many simple life lessons learned and spoken by the four friends.

Manage to finish the tagged book while waiting for my gilding flakes to dry off. This book is lovely, a true gem. And the illustrations are beautiful as well. I'll be rereading it again for sure.

Finally got this from my library and read it!!It‘s been on my list for almost a year 😏 I just loved it! It‘s like a children‘s book for adults, (which we can always use). The illustrations and wise, kind sayings are so lovely it made me wish I had each page as a poster for my wall, to remind me of the important things in life. Highly recommended!

This book is simply beautiful. I wish my children were younger so I could read it to them! 💖

This is a very short little story about friendship and kindness. It is quite lovely, although a bit of a sleepy story as well. 🦊

A sweet, quiet little book... perfect to grab when you need a little pick-me-up. The illustrations were beautiful!

We‘ve been in our new house 2 weeks now - hubby kindly got the little ‘library‘ room shelves up first. So just putting the finishing touches to the room. So excited to not have to read in the same room as the TV now! I feel very grown up!

Precious and lovely. Full of love, and who couldn't use a good reminder sometimes to go forward with love first?

I 💟 this book.

Simply wonderful.

Nothing short of beautiful - everyone should read this book.

A beautiful book. Belongs to be next to The Little Prince and Winnie the Pooh.

Honestly, I don‘t know why I waited so long to read this perfect book. It‘s beautiful!
Thank you @robinb for gifting it to me! I absolutely loved it!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💕💕💕
Book 2 finished for #joysofjune

Finally read this beautiful book for the #ReadingwithMaja April challenge. Now I know why it‘s a #Bestseller! Thank goodness we have kind-hearted, loving and creative authors like Charlie Mackesy who remind us about life‘s most precious gifts. 🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

An absolutely beautiful book about friendship. My best friend for literally all of my life sent this to me a couple of months ago. We have had a tough year in terms of losing people to Covid, so she got this very special book for me. Such a great story. The pictures are of us through our life together. #AxeTheStacks

This is a children's book for adults. It will speak to everyone, giving each of us what we need. It wraps up everything my soul has been trying to say and dies it with simplicity and heart. So beautiful!

What a wonderful and thoughtful surprise! After a long morning of appointments this brought a smile to my face. I found out what my treatment will be like and they basically are going to hit me hard and fast. I would never ever wish cancer on a single person. Ovarian cancer can suck it!

“The Boy, the mole, the fox and the Horse” by Charlie Mackesy is this perfect warm hug of a book with it‘s gentle words of comfort and beautiful inky illustrations.

Simple and profound with lovely illustrations. Browsed it at the Aizawl Book Cafe, Mizoram, India.

Loved the illustrations throughout this book. This one is probably my favorite, though. As these characters journey together, their conversation reveals so many truths that I know, but need to be reminded about. This book is one I‘ll be rereading when I‘m feeling down, defeated, or flat out depressed.

💙💙💙
Much wisdom in this short book.
