Welcome to Litsy!

I love folklore and fairy tales so I really enjoyed discovering this one and, i really enjoyed it. Its short but I thought it had some interesting characters and I like that it also had some similarities to Cinderella as well. I did listen to the audiobook so it was a pretty easy listen. #folklore #fairytales

With beautiful illustrations evoking folk art traditions and sensitive storytelling, Babushka tenderly reminds us that nothing is more important during the holiday season than taking the time to show love for one another. This timeless Russian tale will warm your heart and fill you up with the joyful, generous spirit of Christmas. (December 14, 2022)

The Firebird is a Russian folktale written by Jane Yolen and illustrated by Vladimir Vagin. His enchanting paintings have you focusing not only on the folktale in the middle but the vignettes of ballet in the borders. This classic tale features a a shimmering garden, an evil wizard, a princess in distress and a prince ready to slay some monsters.

1. I have a bit of a fascination with any of the tales of Baba Yaga.
2. Once upon a time I got a new phone that was my favorite thing.

Russia‘s Christmas Witch. Very similar to Belfana, but each rendition is a bit different. I loved the art of the tagged one. It felt classic. ❤️

“But turning back wasn‘t an option.”

I would read this book aloud to a middle school classroom and incorporate lessons after on different types of families.
