Welcome to Litsy!

A gem of a story. Funny, sad, beautiful. A self-discovery story at its finest. Just read it. 😀#MGMarch @Eggs @megnews

Just finished this recently and it's absolutely one of the best middle grade books I've read so far this year! Beautiful, funny, heartbreaking, uplifting, and inspiring! 💕📚🐢

Chaplin is excited to dive in to some new middle grade books with me! 😽💕📚 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #chaplin

4⭐White Bird: A Wonder story
We learn about Julian's namesake from his Grandmere Sara. She is saved from the Nazis by her disabled classmate. Such a heart-wrenching tale I wish it could have ended differently.
4⭐ Turtle Boy
A story of friendship, coming out of your shell and more. Will is preparing for his bar mitzvah; so his Rabbi recommends he spend time with a terminally ill teen as a service project.

Laughter is good for the soul but so is wine and really good conversations about books. My neighbors are the absolute best! Every time I visit I feel as if I‘ve taken a trip to the bookstore and had my soul renewed. I can‘t wait to dive into Turtle Boy. #turtleboy #graphicnovels #wineandconversation

I liked the character growth...it was very much needed. There were lots of big issues: grief, maintaining friendships when you aren‘t even certain who you are, spirituality and coming of age celebrations, bullying, and body dysmorphia. The aspects of Jewish religion and culture were fascinating and inspiring. It took me half the book to become interested in the character and I doubt most kids will hang around that long.

Read

This is definitely a book that I would recommend to any woman looking to revive her ancient roots and become in touch with the rhythm of her sacred & divine self.
