Welcome to Litsy!

I‘d imagine it‘s difficult to maintain a tight organizational principle and condense your thoughts when your book hinges on an epiphany about how everything is interconnected. But imagine?! Berry would‘ve been unstoppable! As it is, her concept is phenomenal and there are some deeply thoughtful passages and beautiful sentences. If you like nature writing, and you‘re a patient reader (or listener)…👇🏻

“To love anyone, anything, means accepting the limits of your own control.”

although this book doesn‘t have any quotes, the visuals are able to show emotions of the characters. The illustrator uses different tones in the book to describe the girl and her feelings and the wolf‘s feelings. Because this book does not have texted, allows the illustrations to really come to life and share the story.

Westberg teachers a great lesson of compassion. It highlight how kindness can be a bridge and can foster a new relationships and respect. This book also teaches children the beauty of being outside your comfort zone and being an unexpected situation.

this book your story of a young girl who gets lost with snowstorm and faces a wolf creating an unexpected bond. This book shows the beauty of a snowy landscape and really describes the emotions of the characters.

This book is very interesting as it has no words. It still conveys the message of compassion in a very unique way. I enjoyed this book and think it could be great for certain classrooms but some groups of students may find it boring.
