"Irrepressible. Joyful. Vibrant and full of oomph!" -Andrea Beaty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Rosie Revere, Engineer

Debut author-illustrator Lian Cho delivers a hilariously cheeky picture book that celebrates the creativity of a young girl who breaks from the rigid traditions of her famous artist parents to make a colorful splash in her own unique style.

Presenting Olive Chen!

The most magnificent and brilliant artist in the whole wide world!

Her parents are also artists-serious artists-who paint prim, proper, perfect shapes. They know Olive has the talent to follow in their footsteps.

But Olive likes to smear, splatter, splash, and even lick.

With a brush in each hand, Olive cascades through town with her friends in tow, painting what she wants to, what she feels-until she reaches her parents' pristine art museum. . .

Reviews
"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
