Welcome to Litsy!

Nominated for the Washington State children's choice picture book award 🇺🇲, this is a bit of a tongue twister and includes the word humpiest. So reading aloud to K-5 will be interesting. Buffalo learns that he doesn't have to be tough to cover up his true size. #WSCCPBA

Very interesting comic.

Enjoy!

This book tells the story of how white Americans drove the buffalo to the brink of extinction then a few individuals helped save enough animals to allow the species to survive. It‘s well done with interviews from many sources, including Native voices. It has many illustrations, which I appreciated. Apparently there‘s an associated documentary if you want to check that out.

I *so* needed this read! The art is adorable & the running gag of endless silly rhyming even more so.

Here‘s the short, sweet succinctallo: Buffalo Fluffalo thinks he‘s toughallo because of his impressive fluffalo until a torrent of rain comesallo.

Oopsy doodallo, now you‘re small & bedraggledallo!

Only size isn‘t everything, sillyallo!

We all love you just the way you are…allo! 💕
