Birgitta Sif creates a fascinating, shadowy dream-world populated by comical, bug-eyed characters. Oliver doesn’t mind being different all by himself: he’d rather have exciting adventures in his imaginary world on his own than be the same as everybody else. Then one day he meets Olivia and realizes he doesn’t have to be alone to be different: they can be different together. The story is captivating and children will enjoy poring over the enchanting and detailed illustrations (Olivia, Oliver’s future friend, can be spotted on the first page and appears throughout).
