COLOR
Ian Falconer’s debut book, Olivia, is based on his rambunctious niece. Olivia, the piglet, is daring and sassy, highly imaginative and above all, high energy. Falconer captures Olivia’s vivid personality by filling the crisp white pages of this preschool-friendly book, with black and white drawings. By doing so, the reader is able to focus on the character’s facial expressions. The only splash of color comes from Olivia herself whose signature color is red. This choice perfectly captures the connotations, we as readers, associate with the color: Warmth, friendliness and powerful vivacity. After having read the book, the reader will forever connect this color with Olivia as well.
