Welcome to Litsy!

When a child paints their nails with their mom's nail polish, they discover the most important thing of all: the magic of being their true self. As the long late summer day stretches ahead of them, a child eagerly looks forward to their favorite time--painting-your-nails time. They know that when they dip into those magical bottles of nail polish, they will discover a color to express their every mood and feeling. Purple is the color of magic and mystery. White is the color of endless possibilities. At times, their Papa frowns and says, "What have you done to your nails?" At other times, he says, "Why don't you paint on paper instead?" But the child knows that painting their nails makes their hands look beautiful. An inclusive celebration of creative expression, this color-filled story celebrates the joy of finding out who you are and the courage it takes to be yourself.
