Welcome to Litsy!

I saved this praying mantis. It was in front of the door at work and if you open the door, it would've been obliterated. Did my good deed for the day.

This is a true story of a 16 year old boy who sails around the world alone. Fantastic story and the book was very well done. It was also a movie back in the day.

I read this book when it first came out in the 70s then it was made into a movie which I saw. It is the the true story of a boy only 16 who sailed around the world. A truly amazing adventure. I highly recommend!⛵

#12DaysofChristmas For "two turtle doves" I'm going with TWO characters--TURTLE ? the young Native American girl from Barabara Kingsolver's The Bean Trees & DOVE ?the sailboat ⛵️in the book of the same name in which the author began a sailing adventure at age 16. Can a boat be a character? In this case I think it counts since it was just Graham, Dove & the cats he kept on board. (BTW Max ?says I should reread this one with him-? & ??) ??
