Welcome to Litsy!

I spent hours out in the cold and snow today filling our library‘s new StoryWalk with the tagged book for the town‘s Holiday Festival this Saturday.

It‘s one of my favorite seasonal picture books. It briefly references “Christmastime” but it‘s otherwise just a nature-filled gem of a story (with dreamy, textured pages).

I guess it was worth the frozen fingers. And nose. And toes. 🥶

The vocabulary in this book can be more educational for students that are younger. As well as there being bigger words throughout that describe certain things.

"Tulip and Violet hugged the plotting. It felt as soft as cotton candy. And all the while, wise Norris waited."

This book is a good identification of how students can share from the bear's perspective of giving to the other animals.

“Chester put the hand to his cheek and smiled.“

This book illustrates the beautiful bond between a mother and child showing that love can transcend distance.
