Welcome to Litsy!

Based on a true story, a Caiman is adopted by a man named Faoro. The Caiman can come and go as she pleases, plays with the neighbourhood children, and is part of his life even after he gets married.

This was a sweet (and sad) children‘s book and a quick read for #Venezuela #FoodAndLit

I was scrolling through my Kindle library to see if I had anything that could be used for #readingtheamericas2023 and found this. I can‘t believe someone actually kept a caiman as a pet, but it is apparently a true story. The author was one of the children who played with the neighbor‘s alligator. šŸ¤Æ The relationship between Faoro, his caiman, and the neighborhood was sweet and made me cry. The art style isn‘t my favorite, but it suits the tale.

#CuriousCovers Day 29: this will win the award for unusual #Pets. While I still probably would not have reptiles as #pets, The Caiman demonstrates how interspecies compassion and love can blossom among those who are brave enough to reach out to creatures different from oneā€˜s self.
