Development
[ edit ]
The Olivia book series was inspired by Ian Falconer's niece, Olivia.[1]
The series is different from many children's picture books because of its stark minimalism. Inspired by the style of Dr. Seuss , Falconer chose to draw uncluttered images in black and white with the occasional splash of red, along with the insertion of real artwork by famous artists — Degas and Pollock , for example. Each book in the series explores the use of another signature color in addition to the original black, white and red images.
Olivia books have been translated into many languages including Czech, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Russian, Hebrew and Latin.
