Welcome to Litsy!

I wasn‘t expecting the miniature version of 100 Flowers to be quite this miniature, but ever since I discovered miniature versions of coffee table art books I‘ve been looking for (used if possible) ones to look at in bed when I‘m too sick to read or watch TV, so maybe a truly tiny one is actually just what I needed. I can keep it by my bed right within reach. #theuniversealwaysknowsbest

Instead of turning into a princess, when this little girl opens her dress up box she becomes a different woman from stories her mom tells her & pictures her mom shows her of real women who‘ve made a stamp on history. The way this is written invites you to play with it. For readers tell their own stories to listeners, to look up names they don‘t know together & find new ones, to dress up the paper dolls included at the end… #BBRCPictureBookLetterE

…and I tell them that it matters—to earn one‘s own living, to work hard, and to consider oneself an individual, with rights and privileges and responsibilities—the most vital of which is self-realization. (P 183)

3 fantastic 1950s watercolor prints of various dpots in Israel. I've no place to hang them, but I've got them.

#MagnificentMarch Day 27: This picturebook biography is #AboutAnArtist, Georgia O‘Keefe to be precise. There are no details about Georgia‘s childhood since as the title indicates, this book focuses primarily on her time getting to know the island, and immersing herself in the beauty of the flora and fauna around Hawaii. Much to her “employer‘s” chagrin, Georgia painted what she pleased. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-kBr

Another stack of replenishment 😁! The top two are for the #ModernLibrary Display, and the other four for the #AutumnalColors Display.

Have you read any of these?!

I find her paintings so beautiful and somewhat chilling at times.
