Welcome to Litsy!

What a strange and bittersweet book. The friendships Peggy formed with James and his family were complicated and her emotional attachment to them strikes multiple chords.

In not sure if I‘ve ever read about a 8 foot tall person unless it was in fantasy. This really felt like historical fiction, I would believe it if told it were based on a true story.

@AmyG I feel like you might enjoy this one.

I also read so many #picturebooks with my daughter.

Our favourite was The Selfish Giant.

#adventrecommends I read this pre 1999 but it has had major staying power. Reading this authors newest now. Also enjoyed Bowlerama, but the Giants House is what made me fall for this author.

This book is good to talk about how friends can help discover your purpose.

Such a cute book about a giant helping out his town! It was a great read!

“Gently he laid the fish back in the river and watched as it swim away. Was it a lighter shade of red now?”

This book would be a great one for teachers to have. It could be added to a classroom library for St. Patrick's Day, or for a unit on Ireland or on fairytales from other countries. The story could also be a good starting point for discussion about making quick judgments about individuals and the effects of stereotyping.
