Oh, Olive! cover

"Irrepressible. Joyful. Vibrant and full of oomph!" —Andrea Beaty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Rosie Revere, Engineer

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. . .

"Irrepressible. Joyful. Vibrant and full of oomph! Olive Chen is the artist of the year!"  — Andrea Beaty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Rosie Revere, Engineer "Lian Cho has managed to bring together a visually stunning, energetic story full of clever humor, heart, and a reminder that art has no boundaries. Olive is someone we all hope to be more like!" — Ruth Chan, author-illustrator of Thank You, Neighbor "An infectiously gleeful celebration of art and being true to yourself." — Kirkus Reviews (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
