Opening Lines of the Book…
It was her usual Sunday with Grandpa, but Olive was not her usual self.
She did not touch a single one of the chocolates. She didn’t tickety-tat-tat on the old typewriter. Instead, Olive flopped onto the armchair and sighed.
MY THOUGHTS…
How wonderful is this book! I really enjoyed that this story starts from the POV of the human (especially the girl) but goes into the POV of the green envelope. As somebody who used to have lots of penpals, I loved seeing how mail moves. And how much joy letters bring to people.
I love how the art is made out of paper cutouts. Perfect for the subject matter of the book! And what’s so neat at the end… it shows you how to make/fold your own little green envelope!
