A six-year-old Olivia approached me one day and showed me her first written book. “Daddy”, she told me, “I have written a book to help you with your work. It's called 'OLIVIA'S TEN STORIES BOOK'.”I looked at her with surprise and took the stories from her hands. I read them all and promised that I will publish them. It has taken a year to color and design her stories, but here is my promise fulfilled.
The Lost Octopus belongs to the children's book series "The Adventures of Splash and Shelly". The idea for this book came to the author, who as a single mom of two energetic boys, juggling all of the daily needs and wants that come with raising children, often finds herself screaming "Hold on! I'm not an octopus!". Follow along with Mommy Octopus and her children Olivia and Ollie to find out what happens on chore day in their house on the reef, the unexpected adventure that takes place, and what it truly means to be a part of a family that works together! There is also a surprise at the end of every book of the series to add some extra fun!
“One of the finest writers of the new nonfiction” (Harper’s Bazaar) explores the role of art in our tumultuous modern era. In this remarkable, inspiring collection of essays, acclaimed writer and critic Olivia Laing makes a brilliant case for why art matters, especially in the turbulent political weather of the twenty-first century. Funny Weather brings together a career’s worth of Laing’s writing about art and culture, examining their role in our political and emotional lives. She profiles Jean-Michel Basquiat and Georgia O’Keeffe, reads Maggie Nelson and Sally Rooney, writes love letters to David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, and explores loneliness and technology, women and alcohol, sex and the body. With characteristic originality and compassion, she celebrates art as a force of resistance and repair, an antidote to a frightening political time. We’re often told that art can’t change anything. Laing argues that it can. Art changes how we see the world. It makes plain inequalities and it offers fertile new ways of living.
