My Sister Olive

A simple and delightful personal narrative of a young sister’s admiration for her older sister.  Not so much a story as a list of all the ways that “My Olive is the best in the world”…compared to herself.  “My Olive is the best in the world at tying her long stripy shoelaces.  My fingers are in knots!”   Gentle, doll-like digital illustrations placed on wallpaper and photograph backgrounds add  much visual interest.  Useful as a primary writing model, teachers can share this title in a mini-lesson on personal narratives.  Lovingly, at the end, the big sister acknowledges her little sister for being the “best in the world at giving big, BIG hugs!”
