Book Overview

by Linda Urban (Author), Kat Fajardo (Illustrator), Kate Messner (Introduction by)

Meet the kids in Mrs. Z's wacky and wonderful third-grade class! Olive Little thinks a crafting club would be the perfect way to connect with her classmates--but when her club plans keep falling short, can she still find a way to make a place for herself in Mrs. Z's class?
 
Olive Little loves making things ... but she's still working out how to make friends. After she spies some other kids checking out crafting books from the school library, Olive gets a brilliant idea: She'll start a crafting club!

With a super-extraordinarily crafty invitation, everyone will surely want to join Olive's new club. And she knows just the invitation to make. All she needs is a perfect poem, some colorful confetti, a dozen eggshells, and some crafty know-how. Easy peasy!

Until Olive discovers a local skunk has made its home in her family's backyard henhouse! Can she craft a solution to the stinky situation in time to save her club?

Both sweetly poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, with black-and-white illustrations by Pura Belpré Honor artist Kat Fajardo, Olive's story invites readers into Mrs. Z's class where friendship and fun rule the school, from acclaimed author Linda Urban.
