"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 "Cho creates a loveable and energetic protagonist who cultivates and defines her unique art style rather than following her parents' expectations and societal norms. With a delightful, surprising ending, this will make an easy pick for little artists to celebrate the joys and triumphs of creating art with no boundaries.

" - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "This smile-inducing read-aloud celebrates being yourself and embracing your talents." - Booklist (starred review) "Irresistible." - Publishers Weekly.
