About

91´«Ã½

Olivia is an inquisitive, creative, confident piglet who is "very good at wearing people out." Falconer's illustrations bring to life this little piglet who dreams big dreams and keeps everyone busy.

"With the touch of a minimalist, Falconer has fully created an exuberant character using black lines, delicate charcoal shading, generous white space, and spots of brilliant red."
