Our Review

This charming Easter story captures the familiar preschool experience of wanting to join in when everyone else is doing something special. As Ollie watches his friends dye colorful eggs, his wiggly impatience and determination to participate will resonate with young children who've felt left out of holiday preparations. The simple, expressive illustrations perfectly convey Ollie's journey from exclusion to creative problem-solving.

What makes this spring tale stand out is how it validates children's emotions while showing them the power of initiative and imagination. Rather than simply waiting for an invitation, Ollie takes matters into his own wings and creates an Easter surprise that delights everyone. Young readers will appreciate how the smallest gosling turns frustration into triumph, making this holiday book particularly meaningful for children who often feel they're too little to contribute.
