Welcome to Litsy!

My current Christmassy reads (one‘s sweet and one‘s a bit nasty). 🎄

A beat-up copy of Little Toot and the Loch Ness Monster came through the book drop, and I was instantly hit with nostalgia. Gorgeous watercolors, a sweet Scottish adventure, and the joy of reading it aloud to my coworkers sealed the deal. I didn‘t know this was part of a series, but now I want them all. A charming rediscovery! 🛳️🐉📖

I‘ve seen this book around for a while. Last week some school psychology colleagues recommended it, specifically for neurodivergent kids experiencing anxiety, so I decided to add it to my collection.
I‘m big on psychoeducation. If we understand how our brains and bodies work, we become empowered. This is a great book for older primary (elementary) school kids. It‘s great for all kids, not just neurodivergent ones.

#DashingThruChristmas Day 6: Loads of #HolidayRecipe in this hilarious book - my review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-yL - posting in advance as we are doing a road trip to San Diego. 10 hours, baby!

My dad had cancer 3 years ago, did radiation & was in remission. He recently got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer & had his first chemo a few weeks ago, he‘s determined to fight. He finally took the plunge & shaved his head this past weekend. He always had the most beautiful hair. It‘s jarring but he‘s rocking the buzz cut.

wavy brown locks shorn
away; kick cancer‘s ass — it‘s
gonna be okay.

A good elderly friend and distant relative died on Halloween. I‘m sending her daughter this book. I love Charlie Mackesy books so much. A dear friend on Litsy sent me his first book after a very close friend died during Covid. I‘ve passed on the kindness, giving a copy to a friend when her breast cancer recurred. And now I‘m sending this book. If you ever wonder what to do for someone who‘s grieving & lives at a distance, this book is marvelous
