Welcome to Litsy!

Happy Thanksgiving, Littens! 🦃

I‘m thankful for this community, reading books, and being able to write my own stories AND sharing all of that with you! ❤️📖✍🏻

Based upon an annual community Thanksgiving feast held in the woods on an upstate New York farm, this lovely seasonal picture-book from American author Phyllis Alsdurf and Norwegian illustrator Jenny Løvlie is a pleasure to peruse. I loved the idea behind this book, and I found the narrative engaging and the artwork lovely (appropriately enough). I only wish that the real-life story which inspired this fictional narrative was explored more fully.

I was on the library waitlist for two months but finally able to pick it up yesterday. I missed the holiday it‘s for but it was worth the wait. The illustrations are particularly excellent.

Went to an author signing today to hear this gorgeous, gorgeous story, which is based on a real annual event. Beautiful premise, stunningly illustrated - my niece is getting this for Christmas! #childrensbooks #bookstogive
