Throughout her life, observing nature has fueled Karin’s imagination. Jagged tree stumps in a snowy winter became elfin castles. Tree frogs nestled among orchid roots whisper of their cozy hidden homes throughout a garden world. Small lives, out of sight to many, are highlighted in watercolor and pencil. Karin’s stories about these small creatures may be applied to children’s own lives in ways that touch and inspire them as individuals. Karin states her purpose for writing and illustrating her stories: “I hope that in a light and playful way, my stories and pictures will encourage children to develop their creativity and sense of adventure. I want them to know the power they have to change things for the better.” — The most important job parents, teachers, and schools, have is to guide children to love learning. This begins with reading. Oliver the Overachiever has all the qualities to encourage children to read and believe in themselves. Oliver and his friends prove throughout the reading that they can be anything they want to be. Kids will certainly relate to and love what Oliver offers. —Miriam M.
