Welcome to Litsy!

This was a cute, fast read. It reminded me of Little House on the Prairie, stories along that vein. I didn't retain a lot of the story, but that's more about me and my stress than about this book. :) #MensaKidsExcellenceInReading K-3

Bold, colorful illustrations. A fun story about the importance of community/family and about appreciating our individual gifts. Really cool little book. #MensaKidsExcellenceInReading K-3

I think I would've really enjoyed these stories when I was a young girl! Five sisters in a Jewish family in New York. They're cute, slice-of-life stories. Worth the read if you need something light-hearted! :) #MensaKidsExcellenceInReading K-3

I cannot stress enough how important it is to foster creativity, not squash it. Rules and form are great, but so is pushing against those constraints. Let those little artist flags fly. :) This book is so sweet, and an important read for kids AND adults. #MensaKidsExcellenceInReading K-3

This book is colorful, sweet, funny, and whimsical. I love that it is bilingual, mingling Spanish words in the narration. The words are then translated in the back of the book. So many of us are struggling to learn another language (I'm still working on Korean), and exposing our kiddos to different languages and cultures can only enrich their lives. I love this little story about a girl's day out with her Abuela. #MensaKidsExcellenceInReading K-3

How freaking cute is this story!? Sal and her Mom are going to pick blueberries, but a bear cub and her mom are on the same errand! I can't believe I haven't read this sooner... McCloskey is just one of those children's authors who really understands the assignment. I would get this particular illustration tattooed in a heartbeat! :) #MensaKidsExcellenceInReading K-3
