Overview
Olivia has taken many adventures in her two and a half years: holding up her head and smiling at her parents, sitting up, feeding herself in her highchair, learning to talk, and walking (that was a big one!). Walking still takes her on many new adventures around the house (when she's not blocked by the baby gate). Now comes one of the biggest adventures of her young life — getting on the potty. Getting up there, not falling in, doing the business, and getting back down. Can she do it? Of course she can . . . she's Olivia, Princess of Imagination.Reviews

"Olivia's Potty Adventures! is a whimsical, rhyming picture book that celebrates the childhood triumph of learning to know when to go. The world of Olivia's imagination is as big and boundless as it is colorful and cute. I often found myself smiling at the images of her taking breaks in the midst of her adventures and loved seeing the bold and empowered stance Olivia takes even in the world of pretend. Children of color will especially love seeing themselves mirrored in the main character." —Micheline Hess, cartoonist and consummate foodie; artist & writer, Malice in Ovenland
