The illustrations of this story follow a theme. They are all mostly done in black and white, but whatever Olivia wear is bright red. This is the brightest pop of color on each page, which draw your central focus to Olivia when looking at the illustrations.

This is a story about a pig named Olivia that is god at a lot of things. She goes to the beach with her mother and won‘t take a nap when she gets home. She goes to the museum and tries to recreate a painting on the wall, and does not want to go to sleep. Her mother tells Olivia that she wears her out but she loves her. It is a very cute story for you get aged children.
