Welcome to Litsy!

Today (November, 7) is International Inuit Day, a holiday established by the Inuit Circumpolar Council representing First Nations people living in Alaska, #Canada, Greenland and Chukotka.

And Sweetest Kulu is a lovely book for babies and young children written by an Inuk artist and writer from Nunavut.

Recommended by my very favorite author, this historical ghost story set in the frigid & isolated Arctic Circle, this makes for an unsettling listen. Jack joins this small research expedition, almost immediately at odds with one of his older & rougher companions. When circumstances strand him alone with the huskies, it‘s more than just the months of darkness that add to the chill… It‘s a quick listen & one that‘d make for a good book club pick!

I'm posting the #BookScavengerHunt prompts in order & today is 'Desolate'.

This book sticks in my mind for the sheer bleakness of their situation.

It's almost the end of the month, so it's time for another installment of my #2024bookbracket. I accomplished a lot more reading in October compared to September. Both Sep/Oct were tough to compare as well as the bonuses as they are completely different books but I managed to make my picks with careful consideration.

Only two more months!

“There‘s nothing better than a warm den and friends to share it with.”

This book would be a good read aloud when learning about winter animals.

Traditional Literature
Published 2020

The story illustrates the themes of friendship and the joy of sharing. In th e Alaskan winter, Cozy‘s den becomes a warm home as the animals come together to enjoy the winter season. The illustrations capture the cozy atmosphere and the charm of each character‘s personality. Cozy learns the importance of companionship and the warmth that comes from being together during hard times, in this case the winter.

I put my book down to go look at the sky. Did not disappoint.
