Welcome to Litsy!

There is so much to love in this collection. It paints a picture of the joys and heartaches of life, from the POV of a sweet, creative child. I feel like I highlighted half of it. I just wanted to remember and share the whole thing. I love that this is a biography in poetry. It was such a joy to read. This is definitely getting read again.

The writer‘s hide away. I‘m trying to think of where I used to go to write.

This reminds me of when my favourite music teacher tried to get me to actually observe the full rest by telling me the music was in the silences.

This is so sad.

That amazing moment when you discover you‘re actually good at something.

I love that she‘s finding herself, and even getting her teacher to see her as someone with different talents from her sister.
