Review: This book was utterly adorable, I loved Olive she was the sweetest little girl, with a big personality and a really creative mind. She always has some sort of creative art planned and leaves a mess in her wake. I really enjoyed this story.
When Olives’ school is planning an art show she’s the most excited but then as her friends share what they are doing she becomes defeated and doesn’t think she’s talented or able to create anything as good as them. I loved that her family all helped her feel better and helped her to figure out what she really can do.
It was such a sweet story with a great diverse family, great storyline and really beautiful illustrations that showed some of the best parts of the story in each chapter. This is really a really easy and quick read, perfect for a child that’s starting out with chapter books, Olive is a great lead and it’s a really fun book.
