Olivia is the adorable story of a teenage octopus sharing her likes and dislikes, strengths and struggles, and everyday adventures...think of it as a mini-diary but with rhyming.  Beyond the cute exterior (and interior...the illustrations ROCK!), you have a story with a lot of heart (three to be exact...^_^).  It's aim?  In my mind...to spread the message that it's okay to be different; in fact, it's preferred sometimes!  Accepting people...I mean EVERYONE including octopi...for those differences is what allows us to grow as individuals and cultivate our circle of friends into a garden of happiness to last a lifetime.  So go ahead...BE DIFFERENT.  I can guarantee Olivia will be there supporting you...with all six arms at your back.  Recommended for all ages; all you need is an appreciation for a heartfelt story and a little imagination.  Happy reading!
