Finalist at the 2019 Independent Publisher Book Awards. Learning table manners is a difficult task for children, especially if there is chocolate nearby. But Olivia’s mom has an idea…
Olivia knows how important and necessary hygiene habits are. Mom always tells her to wash her hands before eating, but sometimes she forgets, especially when she knows they are having hamburger for dinner. And it’s so hard for her not to wipe her hands on her T-shirt every time she eats chocolate ice cream or spaghetti! When Olivia plays tirelessly, her mind flies so high that she, inadvertently, gets dirty and fills her favorite clothes with colorful spots until she ends up looking like a small leopard. But Olivia’s mom has an idea… what if she teaches her about hygiene habits through songs? This will make it much easier for Olivia to remember the need to avoid risks before it is too late and she will also have a great time!
