Congrats Lian! It honestly feels relieving to see that you had this idea 4 years ago and it's now out in the world. In today's world I definitely feel the urge to do everything now and as fast as possible. I can't wait to get my hands on this one.

Loved it!!! I read it to my baby who had absolutely no idea what I was saying but I’m sure she loved it too. She even tried to lick the page. Aspiring to be just like Olive! The colors and humor and characters were all so good. Can’t wait to take a good and deep gander at it when I’m not fighting my baby for control of the book.

I am so emotional and touched to tears….

We would have hugged and had a good cry if you were here.

It has been a tough and long journey to have your dream come true!

Congratulations for the Birthday of Olive! We love Olive very much just like we love you.

I am very grateful for having you as our daughter who I can’t ask for more from God. You have taught me a lot how to be a good parent and I am still learning.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Couldn’t be more proud of you !!!
