Olivia Goes to Venice this Fall

A new classic Olivia title is out this fall - Olivia Goes to Venice! This is the sixth picture book in the Olivia series, featuring the character The New York Times calls “a pig with panache.”

Ian Falconer’s five previous Olivia books have garnered as much critical acclaim as they have commercial success. Originally created as a gift for his niece Olivia, Falconer’s children’s book Olivia was first published in October 2000. An instant bestseller and children’s classic, it was awarded the prestigious Caldecott Honor medal by the American Library Association and the Book Sense Children’s Illustrated Book of the Year award by the American Booksellers Association. More than six million Olivia books have been sold in 22 territories.

In addition to designing sets and costumes for the New York City Ballet, San Francisco Opera, Royal Opera House in London, and most recently the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, Ian Falconer is known for his memorable New Yorker magazine covers.

So frickin' cute!
