pickI know it's past Halloween but I don't care. This book was too freaking cute! Little ghost is lonely in the abandoned house and wants a friend. A new neighbor moves in. Can the ghost make a new friend or scare her away? Adorable graphics and a lovely story.
pickSilas and Ellen captivated my interest throughout the story due to their varied characteristics. The various situations that have led them to where they are in life.

Now that Cda Post is *somewhat* back in service, I took the opportunity to catch up on some correspondence. Lots of #LitsySnailMail headed out. @TheLudicReader -Im finally sending a letter your way ♡♡
pickThis is heartwarming and lovely. A little ghost lives alone in an attic until the little girl downstairs encroaches on his territory. Slowly, he comes to realize that having a friend is not so scary after all. I really liked the charcoal illustrations.
“He was born on an island far away where imaginary friends were created.”
This story follows Beekle, an imaginary friend who sets out to find the child who will imagine him. In the classroom, the book is useful for exploring themes of friendship, courage, and belonging. It can spark discussions about imagination and creativity, while also encouraging students to write or draw about their own imaginary friends or the friends they‘d like to have.
pickIn The Adventures of Beekle, the art is carefully organized through bold colors, shifting perspectives, and imaginative shapes. The contrast between the gray, muted tones of the “real world” and the vibrant, whimsical world of imaginary friends highlights Beekle‘s journey. The illustrations deepen the meaning by showing his loneliness, bravery, and eventual joy in finding friendship.
