An outrageously funny sibling rivalry story with a hand-me-down twist
Olivia loves her favorite sweater. I mean, she really really loves it. So when her mom decides it's time to hand it down to Olivia's baby brother, Olivia vows that she will not rest until she and her beloved sweater are reunited.
In her riotously funny new picture book, Kevin the Unicorn creator Jessika von Innerebner puts an oh-so-satisfying spin on an age-old conflict that is bound to delight siblings of all stripes.
“The message is gentle but clear: Growing up often means growing pains, physical and emotional. Watching Olivia struggle shows young readers that it’s OK to be frustrated, angry, and even sad while growing up and moving on….Fantastic illustrations and a relatable story.” –Kirkus
“Each character is drawn with expressions that are sure to delight even the youngest children and certainly lend themselves to discussions about feelings and sharing…An endearing addition to libraries.” –SLJ
“A playful take on sibling jealousy and the metaphorical and literal growing pains that come from needing to let go of things that have outgrown their use… Even kids who aren’t strong readers will be able to tell Olivia’s feeling from her expressiveness, whether she’s pouting in jealousy or subtly gloating to her older brother.” –BCCB
Jessika von Innerebner is a self-taught artist who landed her first illustration job at seventeen and has been coloring her way through studios like Disney and Atomic Cartoons ever since. Jess is the illustrator of several picture books and chapter books and is the creator of the Kevin the Unicorn series.
