Olivia is a about a spunky piglet with a lot of energy and really big dreams. The reader gets to peek into her daily routines, family dynamics, and the things that make her unique. Although the illustrations are quite simple with black and white and splashes of red, students will explore their own routines, dynamics, and uniquenesses. This module playfully introduces students to opera, impressionism, and abstract expressionism with a just-right dose of dress-up, art-making, gross-motor work, and even sandcastle building!
