My thoughts on Ollie’s Backpack by Riya Aarini:
Ollie’s Backpack by Riya Aarini is a fitting book for today’s troubling times. Children often know there is something wrong around them but are unsure of what it is and how to deal with it. Whether it is stress in the family, the world, school, or a general unease over the many changes we are dealing with as a society, children pick up on the negative vibes.
Aarini’s story is entertaining for young children, yet subtly teaches them how to take some of the worrisome burdens off their small shoulders. Even my young grandson is worried because “the whole world is sick” (2020 Pandemic). So I have first-hand knowledge that kids are aware of what’s happening around them. To be honest, I could use a little lesson in removing worries myself. So maybe this little book has lessons for us all.
As for the story itself, the wording is well-paced for an early reader or listener. The exceptional illustrations by Virvalle Carvallo bring the story to life. I found this first book in the Carefree Ollie series a delightful book that I am happy to recommend to everyone.
