Ollie is a youngster who also spends a lot of time with his mum and together they enjoy the wonders of the everyday - hanging out the washing, butterflies & dragonflies, going for a walk, sharing a treat.

Uneventful, this is a story about the love between a mother and child, expressed in gentle rhyme and with delightful watercolour illustrations. This very short story is exactly the right size and shape for toddlers, especially for reading aloud just before sleep. Full of warmth and affection, this is a loving hug enclosed in the covers of a book.
