Liliana Tommasini writes children’s books that empower children to explore creatively and learn to ask for help when needed. Liliana was on TLE’s Facebook Live (see video below) for a reading of her book and to share her Chocolate Chip Recipe! Liliana was TLE’s visiting author at Souvenir Elementary’s Storytime event as part of TLE’s Storytime project! Where a few lucky winners got a copy of Liliana’s Octavia Can Do It!

Octavia Can Do It!

OCTAVIA IS A SPUNKY LITTLE GIRL…

who loves to bake cookies with her Mama. Mixing flour, butter and eggs is one of her favourite things to do. Today, Octavia wants to do things differently. 

When Mama steps out of the kitchen, Octavia takes over with an “I can do it” attitude. But as flour and cocoa cover the walls, cabinets, and countertops, she starts to question herself. 

Will her cookies turn out as good as Mama’s cookies?

Octavia Can Do It! is the humorous story of a young girl as she discovers that even the most independent people need a little help sometimes.

There are three simple ways to share books throughout the year!

1. Give a Book to a Friend or Relative.
Celebrate the love of reading by giving someone a new, used or borrowed book. Books make GREAT gifts!

2. Leave a Book in a Waiting Room or Lobby.
Choose a waiting room where people are stuck waiting and there are few to no good books available. Purchase a good book, and deposit your book covertly or overtly in your waiting room of choice. The goal here is to spread the love of reading to people and kids especially, so choose a fun book.

3. Donate a Book.
Wrap up a box of children’s books that your kids have outgrown and get them in the hands of children who could really use a book or two. Donate your books to your local literacy council, second hand store, library, children’s hospital, or shelter.
