OLIVIA

Jon Seymour

Reviewed by:

Jon's review this week is Oliva by Ian Falconer, which feels like an homage to both the experiences of being young AND being a parent. Falconer's cheeky, charcoal‑and‑red illustrations perfectly match Olivia's unstoppable curiosity and drive, all while remaining minimalistic (which Jon absolutely loves and has a bias towards).

Jon gives this 5 'bedtime story negotiations' out of 5
