Description
Learn to live in the moment with Oliver and his little brother Louis! Oliver gets the most amazing lollipop on his birthday trip to the zoo, and it's all he can think about. There are lions, pandas and toucans, and Oliver sees none of them. But when he loses his lollipop, it's down to his little brother Louis to help him realise there's much more to enjoy if he can just live in the moment.

Reviews
"Vivid, bright paintings illuminate the well-told narrative centering a child's singular fixation, disappointment, and family warmth." * Kirkus Reviews *
"Simple yet evocative... A gentle, well-paced reminder to live in the moment." * Publishers Weekly *
"Landazabal's gouache and watercolor art is striking, depicting both the sights at the zoo and the lollipop in dazzlingly vibrant hues ... leading to this readaloud's heartwarming message: it's easy to be distracted by the anticipation of something that doesn't come to fruition, and there's great healing in a hug and some brotherly love." * BCCB *
"The book delivers its message about living in the moment elegantly, text and illustrations both equally vibrant. This is a picture book to remember" -- Andrea Reece * LoveReading4Kids *
