Oliver's Must-Do List

by Susan Taylor Brown, Mary Sullivan (Illustrator)

All Oliver wants is for his mother to play with him. But when his mother checks her must-do list she discovers there are too many things to do and no time to play. When her must-do list keeps filling up, Oliver comes back with his own rollocking solution. Susan Taylor Brown's heartwarming story, illustrated with affection and humor by Mary Sullivan, provides a perfect opportunity for busy parents to take a moment with their child, share some hugs and fun, and let the child know that love is always their top priority.

About the author

I write, mostly books for kids but often whatever I can get paid for.

It still sorta freaks me out, in a good way, to think that people will pay me to do someting I love so much. Or that I can walk into a bookstore or a library and see a book I wrote on the shelf. Wow.

Thank you readers, teachers, and librarians. Thank you.

Oliver just wants his mom to play with him, but she has a long list of things to do. The next day, she finds that Oliver has written a long list of things she must do...with him. The illustrations are detailed & entertaining for children, with a reminder for parents that sometimes we just have to let our "to-do" lists go.
