Octavia Can Do It!

Octavia is a spunky little girl…

who loves to bake cookies with her Mama. Mixing flour, butter and eggs is one of her favourite things to do. Today, Octavia wants to do things differently.

When Mama steps out of the kitchen, Octavia takes over with an “I can do it” attitude. But as flour and cocoa cover the walls, cabinets, and countertops, she starts to question herself.

Will her cookies turn out as good as Mama’s cookies?

Octavia Can Do It! is the humorous story of a young girl as she discovers that even the most independent people need a little help sometimes.

Octavia Can Do It! is a Mom’s Choice Awards® Gold Recipient.

REVIEWS

“An important lesson baked into a very sweet story, Octavia Can Do It!, will help children appreciate the balance between independence and interconnection.”

Lauren Wilson

Bestselling author

“Children and grown-ups who cook together will take special pleasure in how true to life Octavia’s baking adventure is. You can feel the love on every page, and the colourful, whimsical illustrations make the story sparkle. This is a book I’ll read over and over with my granddaughters, and it won’t surprise me at all if they wear their own tiaras for storytime.”

Marlene Cornelis

Editor and Writer

Amazon Review

“Octavia Can Do It! is a beautiful, memorable, and unique children’s book that will teach young readers that even if you are independent, it is ok to ask and need help sometimes…Your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends children… all children will adore this book! I implore all of you to buy it!”

Aimee Ann

“Patience and asking for help are two things we really struggle with. I bounce between I’m going to do it all myself, right now, and, who cares, let it wait until later. Someone else can figure it out. It’s probably not the best way to roll through life, but we have our days. Octavia definitely wants to be independent and doesn’t have time to wait for Mama to finish her phone call. All the ingredients, bowls, and measuring cups, are already there waiting to be made into delicious cookies! What could go wrong?”
