The Adventures of Olga da Polga

Reach for this book when your child starts telling tall tales or needs a boost of confidence in their own unique voice. It is the perfect remedy for a child who feels small in a big world and uses their imagination as a superpower to navigate daily life. The story follows Olga da Polga, a guinea pig with an enormous personality and a talent for weaving wildly creative stories about her own origins and adventures. While she lives in a simple hutch, in her mind, she is a glamorous explorer. Bond, the creator of Paddington Bear, focuses on themes of self-worth, the joy of creativity, and the power of a positive perspective. It is a gentle, humorous read-aloud for ages 7 to 10 that validates a child's inner world while teaching them how to find magic in the mundane.
