"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
