Welcome to Litsy!

Puppets begins with a shockingly sad ending. And it ends with a predictably light-filled beginning (predictable if you know Kate DiCamillo). At first, I thought, “I can‘t imagine a single child I would give this to.” By the time I finished the story and read the words on the back cover, “This is a story that‘s perfect for savoring alone or *for reading aloud and sharing with those you love* [emphasis mine],” I vehemently agreed.

“Every idea starts with a spark of imagination.”

“The magic behind the balloons that bring joy to millions.“

A delightful look into the creative genius behind the Macy‘s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Tony Sarg.

Book Outlet had a sale recently and I maybe bought a few books 🤷 Which should I read first?

I was surprised by one of my Book Besties with my #AllHallowsReadSwap on our weekend Book Retreat. Just what the soul needed, I highly recommend 👻💛🎃. THANK YOU @ShelleyBooksie I can‘t FREAKIN wait!! @MaleficentBookDragon I appreciate all of your hard work on this swap! Happy Spooky Season to all💀#AHRS

B this one was way too close to home. When my grandpa died, Emily chased me down the driveway with a fucking puppet she found in his house.
