Octavia Can Do It!
“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.”

It is never too soon to read to our children. It is the perfect way to teach them important lessons while enjoying being with mom, dad or other important persons in their life. It also has a lesson for parents… put down your phones and spend some quality time with your children!”

Octavia Can Do It!
“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?”

Octavia and Ludovic Welcome Baby Brother
“Author Liliana Tommasini delivers again with her second book…A perfect story to read before a new baby joins the family, and during the baby’s first year after. New big sisters and big brothers will be inspired to cooperate, and find ways to help, giggle and love their new sibling. I highly recommend Octavia and Ludovic Welcome Baby!”

Octavia and Ludovic Welcome Baby Brother
“Octavia and Ludovic Welcome Baby Brother is a sweet book that introduces children to the subtle changes, joys, and responsibilities of adding a new sibling to a home. At first, all the baby does is eat, sleep, burp and cry. Soon, Octavia and Ludovic sing lullabies to their new brother and play peek-a-boo and read books too. Octavia learns that it’s a big responsibility to hold and feed a small baby. She also learns that while she’s a big help to mama, she’s not quite ready to help with EVERYTHING!”

Octavia and Ludovic Welcome Baby Brother
This charming addition to the Octavia and Ludovic series thoughtfully showcases the myriad emotions children can feel when welcoming a new sibling into their home. Through short, accessible phrases and colorful, expressive illustrations, this book is a joy to read aloud to young children who may soon be welcoming their own baby sibling son. At the end of the book, a page of extension questions and a list of ways kids can help with a new baby enhance the comprehension and empathy possible from sharing this tale.”
