Welcome to Litsy!

The author embarks on multiple walks, each taken with different experts in their fields. I've always been fascinated by the relationship between knowledge about a subject and its effect on our attentiveness (or inattentiveness) toward certain details. Or simply the fact that we're too busy to notice these details. 4⭐️

2.5/5⭐ There is some specific information for crafting a journal and drawing in it at the beginning, but the majority of the book is more for generic inspiration. Everything is basically “sit still and draw what you observe“ without much more detail. There are lots of examples with the author's notes about when she drew them. The book is more an exploration of the author's art journal than a how-to.

And this looks like the perfect cozy spot to read. #CharactersReading

Such a fun illustration! I always enjoy when characters are reading their own book in the book! 😄 #CharactersReading

Through the use of perspective and lines the author and illustrator capture just how perfect the world truly is. The illustrator also uses warm colors to display how welcoming the world can be.

Tiny, Perfect Things displays the essence of understanding the world around us. This book dives deeper into finding beauty in the small things as it takes you along the journey of a young girl and her grandpa. From the perspective of the young girl you are able to see just how perfect the world truly is.

watch them and they watch me.“

I think this book would be well utilized in the classroom by focusing on the community and environment the students live in. A worksheet or even a blank piece of paper could be used to allow students to write about the tiny, perfect things around them or draw them as well. This could help build a sense of community in the classroom and allow students to pinpoint positive things in their surroundings.
