Description
Description
"Irrepressible. Joyful. Vibrant and full of oomph!" --Andrea Beaty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Rosie Revere, Engineer
"A stunning, energetic story full of clever humor, heart, and a reminder that art has no boundaries." --Ruth Chan, author-illustrator of Thank You, Neighbor
Debut author-illustrator Lian Cho delivers a hilariously cheeky picture book that celebrates the creativity of a young girl who breaks from the rigid traditions of her famous artist parents to make a colorful splash in her own unique style.
Presenting Olive Chen! The most magnificent and brilliant artist in the whole wide world! Her parents are also artists--serious artists--who paint prim, proper, perfect shapes. They know Olive has the talent to follow in their footsteps. But Olive likes to smear, splatter, splash, and even lick. With a brush in each hand, Olive cascades through town with her friends in tow, painting what she wants to, what she feels--until she reaches her parents' pristine art museum. . .

"An infectiously gleeful celebration of art and being true to yourself." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"This smile-inducing read-aloud celebrates being yourself and embracing your talents." -- Booklist (starred review)
"The exuberant, brightly colored, non-representational art that Olive chooses is fun, and young students will be excited to try out some of the splashing and smearing that Olive does. This is a pithy story about finding your own voice, even when adults keep coming in the way." -- School Library Journal
"Irresistible." -- Publishers Weekly
"Cho creates a loveable and energetic protagonist who cultivates and defines her unique art style rather than following her parents' expectations and societal norms. With a delightful, surprising ending, this will make an easy pick for little artists to celebrate the joys and triumphs of creating art with no boundaries." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
