Liliana Tommasini's Octavia Can Do It! introduces us to the enthusiastic Octavia, a young girl determined to bake chocolate chip cookies on her own. The story unfolds in a charming domestic setting, where Octavia, under the watchful eye of her mother, embarks on her culinary quest. However, when her mother is momentarily called away, Octavia seizes the opportunity to advance her baking independently, with the assistance of her brother, Ludovic, and their dog, Oslo. This leads to a series of amusing yet challenging moments in the kitchen, encapsulating the complexities of baking that Octavia initially underestimates.
The narrative of Octavia's venture into independent baking is both engaging and heartwarming, reflecting a strong sense of family values and togetherness. The theme of trying new things, even when they don't go as planned, is a valuable lesson for young readers. The involvement of her family, especially the bond between Octavia and her mother, further underscores the significance of shared family experiences and support in learning new skills. Amariah Rauscher's illustrations, executed in a blend of charcoal pencil and watercolors, add a vibrant and distinctive visual element to the story. The artistic style complements the narrative effectively, enhancing the book's appeal to its young audience. An interesting aspect of this book is its roots in the author's personal life, drawing inspiration from her grandchildren, Octavia and Ludovic, who serve as the main characters. This personal connection adds a layer of authenticity to the story. Furthermore, the inclusion of 'Octavia's Double Chocolate Cookies' recipe is a delightful touch, inviting readers to partake in Octavia's baking adventure.
Octavia Can Do It! is a delightful read for children aged 4-8. It marks Tommasini's impressive debut in children's literature, weaving an entertaining and educational tale. The book promises a journey of learning, challenges, and family bonds and is recommended for young audiences.
