The loveliest thing happened the other day! A wonderful author from England contacted me in order to send our Oliver her book. I was so humbled and grateful for her generosity, and giddy with anticipation at seeing the book. And so, when it arrived in the mail, I was grinning from ear to ear as I opened the package before giving the lovely gift to Oliver.
I snapped a shot of his face as soon as I handed him the book. He was completely blown away. That’s MY name! he exclaimed. Seriously, this guy was awe-stricken. And the funniest part of it all was that the character Oliver in the book could have been modeled exactly after our Oliver: a bit of a loner, quite goofy and different, “in his own world” with little stuffed friends to accompany him on all sorts of adventures… this Oliver and that Oliver are two peas in a pod.
So I wanted to share this wonderful book with you! Find your copy here, and below is a sneak peek at one of the beautifully illustrated pages:
Without giving too much away, the story has a wonderfully happy ending, and Oliver “feeling different” turned out not to be such a bad thing after all.
Thank you, Birgitta, for this generous gift. It is a lovely book which we will enjoy over and over again!
P.S.- Oliver says, “FANK YOU!”
How sweet! And that face Oliver is making when he saw HIS book. So precious.
How very sweet, and such a treasure! I love the look on his face, too, upon receiving this book. He’ll remember this moment for a very long time!
What a cool surprise! And those illustrations do look so gorgeous.
I love the look on his face. Such a sweetie.
Looks like a beautiful book, and that proud little face is just priceless. How special he must feel!
What a fantastic surprise! I love the look on his face when he’s looking at the cover!
Awwww!! Yay! So glad that Oliver liked the book 🙂 So sweet that picture of him seeing the book! Fank YOU Oliver! 🙂 xx
I’ll have to get this for my little Oliver!! Love it!
