Welcome to Litsy!

I love this story line. It‘s engaging for students and me when I was younger. Pictures are great.

I would definity read this book in a classroom. It would make a great lesson for empathy and reading others feelings based on how they look and body language. You could also talk about how good it is to have a friendship and be a friend.

The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend by Dan Santat Caldecott Medal Winner 2014
This has to be one of my favorite books I've read for my assignment yet! The intricate colors and drawings of the unimaginary friends is just so warm hearted and child like! The book also bring out a sense of empathy that I think kids could really learn from and resonate with!

I would use this book to show to never give up on dreams and how sometimes when you wait everything will work out. I would do an activity to make your imaginary friend and how they came into the world and became their friend.

Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend by Dan Santat, 2014- Caldecott Award winner. This is a great book about perseverance and I love how simple but complex the illustrations are there is just enough detail to tell the story but not too much it is overwhelming. The way the pages are also sectioned at a time creates movement to the pages.
