That's My Sweater!

In this picture book, Olivia absolutely adores her favourite red-striped sweater  “her favourite sweater in the … ENTIRE UNIVERSE!” as the book begins, but as Olivia grows, the sweater stays the same size and ends up being handed down to her little brother. Olivia embarks on a mission to reclaim her beloved sweater  leading to sibling rivalry, frustration, creativity, and ultimately a lesson in letting go and sharing.

The story handles “growing-up pain,” sibling emotions, and the symbolism of hand-me-downs in a humorous and heartfelt way.
