![]() ![]() Olivia was originally a Christmas gift for Falconer’s then 3-year-old niece Olivia, and since its publication in 2000, it has become a prominent fixture on children’s bookshelves. But I am grateful that his light lives on with Olivia the Pig, that generations of children who have yet to meet Olivia and her family can still find her and feel her spirit deep within themselves as my own daughters have - as I have too. ![]() Ian Falconer, at 63, has died, and I am just devastated for his family, for the niece and nephews who inspired his stories, for the creativity and art he still had in him, I’m sure. But others, like our collection of Ian Falconer’s Olivia stories, will remain in my possession forever. Some of the books I read to my children I know I’ll donate to a Little Free Library in a couple of years. ![]()
