Sometimes, the world isn't ready for a joke. Other times, a joke is exactly what it needs.
Eight-year-old Olivia isn’t totally sure how to tell those times apart, but she’s determined to find out. What she does know is that she loves to giggle. Over the course of a story, a girl who loves to be silly finds out that laughter can turn a boring day exciting, make a lonely day feel cozy, and turn an ordinary night with her parents into the best night ever.
Packed with silliness and heart, Olivia Tells a Joke proves that sometimes the best punchline is sharing a laugh with the people you love.
