Just thinking of Olivia checking out her “final touch.” still makes me laugh out loud. From a child having trouble finding just the right thing to wear to tripping over junk to kiss them goodnight.

He fully captured a day in my life from the first page to last. It was while wandering in the picture book section my young daughter pulled Olivia Forms a Band off the shelf, and we discovered Ian Falconer’s hilarious take on life with a bright and determined child.įalconer’s artistic illustrations, words, and pacing are completely captivating. Money was tight, but the library offered a never-ending free source of entertainment.Įach week after story time, I let my kids wander through the books to check out four books apiece.


When my kids were little, the library was our best friend.
