I thought this was a really cute read for children! Not only is it inclusive for kids that have been adopted but it also paves the way to talk about anger issues and how to handle things when they don’t go your way. I loved the illustrations and thought they were adorable and fit the story very well. I would definitely recommend this to parents who have adopted or are considering adoption.

This is a great story for kids to read! It normalizes struggles that people who are adopted go through and lets you know that strong feelings are normal! We need more books like this where people can see themselves and acknowledge that everyone has a different life story but we can all help to make the best of the situation we are handed. There are things both in our control and out of control that can affect the way we react and being able to see that represented in a book is very therapeutic. I would love to read more stories by this author!

When Oliver gets in trouble he goes to his room upset. In his room he starts thinking about what life would be like if he was still living with his biological parents instead of being adopted. He ponders what it would be like to have a different family and how much that would change his life. Would he have brothers and sisters? Would he get in trouble like he did now? Would he live with one parent or both parents? So many questions and different possibilities compared to his life now.
This is an amazing book about different kinds of families and the thoughts that go through a child’s imagination. This book would be wonderful for anyone dealing with adoption. I also think any kid who gets in trouble would also enjoy this book, because they can see that even if they get in trouble and dream they were somewhere else in some other family, that in the end their family loves them no matter what. It is a really great and powerful message!

5 Stars Oliver, A Story of Adoption by Lois Wickstrom
Oliver, A Story of Adoption is a children’s book about adoption and we absolutely loved reading it. This is for ages 3 to 9 but honestly I think any age would enjoy it. There’s a great message to be learned from this book. I have three niece’s and nephews that my brother and sister in law adopted and I love them just the same if not more then if they were blood related. They are now old enough to seek out their real mom if they choose. My four year old learned from this and asked lots of questions. I love Oliver and my son did to. This is a short book and I highly recommend reading this cute book and we look forward to reading more from this Author.

What a grand story for children of all ages. Children who are adopted as well as those not. This story shows Oliver’s train of thought when he was angry. Not at the tree he climbed, but at the parents who care for him. Sometimes books explain things better than the adults who love us. This is one of those. The author really looked at adoption from a child’s eyes. The story is well written as well as the illustrations that help tell the story. This is a must have in your library and on your child’s shelf of books. This author has many help books that open the eyes of our children. She is definitely a must have in my library. I hope it is yours too. Review@cinful

This is not the first book that I have read by this talented author, and it will not be the last one! I have found myself becoming immersed in the wonderful world of children’s books. This was a very kindhearted kid friendly story that anyone at any age can read. This is a book that I can see myself reading with my future children or even with my friend’s children now! If you are looking for your next children’s book to read look no further as this author always writes books that are relatable and lighthearted for everyone to enjoy.

This was an interesting take on a story of adoption. The illustrations were cute and the story was easy to read. There were elements of the story that normalized childhood imagination and the need we all have to belong. It was an easy read and I think would generally be enjoyed by children and could be relatable. I love the author trying to tackle the topic of adoption and addressing the reality how children of adoption may wonder about their biological parents.

This is short and sweet. Perfect for a child. Oliver gets in trouble for playing not safely. So he gets disciplined. While he is enduring his punishment he starts contemplating about his birth parents. Then he understands he’s wanted and loved from his adopted parents.

This sweet story is about Oliver, who is adopted. Oliver has quite the imagination and likes to play pirate up in the maple tree. The tree he picks is not strong enough to keep him up and he falls. Oliver’s daddy tells him he needs to go to his room and think about how to play safely. Oliver is so disappointed having to go to his room, he begins to cry and feel sorry for himself. While in his room, he imagines what his life would be like if he hadn’t been adopted. Oliver goes through many scenarios and at the end, he realizes that he is lucky to live with his adoptive parents after all.
I really enjoyed the story of Oliver. It is a relatable story. I raised three boys and while they aren’t adopted, I could see them thinking that when they were in trouble that their “real” parents wouldn’t treat them that way! The illustrations are beautiful and go nicely with the story. I think this book is for any young reader or any young one being read to – whether adopted or not.

A lovely sweet story about Oliver who knows he is adopted. His dad sends him to his room after he falls out of a tree whilst playing. When he goes to his room he imagines what life would have been if he wasn’t adopted. This is a lovely black and white picture book and is perfect for adults and children alike.

What a great children’s story and I love Oliver. This story is a little journey of Oliver and what if’s about this true birth parents after he gets himself in a bit of trouble….but never mad nor sad about being adopted. The book is engaging and I loved the pictures on each page. This story is for young and old alike.

An adopted lizard-like creature named Oliver is all up in his feelings about getting scolded by his dad. Oliver then starts wondering what his birth parents would have been like and how he would have been treated if they hadn’t given him up.
A talk with his mom helps him understand he is where he is in their lives because they chose him. Cute story about feelings and coping with being adopted.

Oliver is a sweet lil one who has several questions. The biggest one is why he was adopted and what it might have been like to stay with his original family. He gets in trouble with his dad and has some time to reflect on his emotions. There is a lot going on at once in his little mind! Ultimately, Oliver realizes that he is loved and cared for right where he is.
This is a super cute book to read with the littles in your life (or have them read it to you!). The illustrations are good but I would have liked to have seen a little more color. This is a great way to have conversations about the different types of families, as well as how to deal with different emotions one might be feeling.

This story shines a light on adoption and bringing one into the fold of a family. What child adopted or not wish for or think about having different parents whenever they are told off. Lois’s stories always have messages/learning tools in them. Kids between the ages of 4 – 8 will like Oliver even if they don’t understand the message.
This hit home as we have been fostering a cat and he is finding his place in the family and after his surgery today, we are adopting him.
It also made me smile because when Oliver is sulking it reminds me of my dog when sulking who turns away so he is facing the other way and will not even acknowledge us.

Oliver, A Story of Adoption by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Janel Bernotas
Another adorable story by Lois Wickstrom! On this one, Oliver is the main character and knows he is adopted. He gets in trouble and sent to his room for climbing a tree. He’s upset and angry at the fact that he’s being punished. He imagines what it’d be like to have other parents, what it’d be like if his birth parents kept him, why his birth parents gave him up for adoption. In the end, he goes back downstairs and chats with his parents about adoption. This is a cute and explanatory story that I think would be helpful in explaining adoption to young children. I love the black and white sketched illustrations too! Very well done, yet again, Lois Wickstrom!

Loved Oliver! When Oliver gets in trouble, he thinks of what his birth parents are doing and how they would treat him. As his father tells him, all kids whether adopted or not, think of life with different parents. I think this is a great book to help kids understand feelings and learn about adoption. Oliver’s character is so lovable and the illustrations will keep your child interested.

Oliver: A Story About Adoption by Lois Wickstrom is a story for children from ages 4 to 8. It is a sweet story about adoption, acceptance, family, love, and also a little about managing emotions. Oliver is adopted, and after a bit of an accident he is sent to his room where he starts sulking and begins to wonder what his ‘real parents’ are like and how his life could be so different with them. A cute story with likeable characters and interesting illustrations. Happy Reading!

I thought the book was ok. I didn’t like some of the wording but that was just my opinion. The point of the story is good though. Oliver got in trouble and sent to his room by his dad. Oliver was adopted and thinks how life would be with his birth parents. He wonders why he was adopted and thinks of different reasons. At the end he goes down stairs and all is forgotten and is happy again with his mom and dad who had adopted him.

I enjoyed reading this children’s story. This is a story about how you feel when you are made by your parents. A story that had Oliver question what his birth parents would be like and the things he could do. It is a great story that has engaging illustrations that will keep your children interacting with the story. I enjoyed how the story had parts that would keep the child’s attention. Oliver is a great character. He is likable and added so much to the story. This is a great book for any child. I highly recommend this book.

Such a cute story. I like that it showcases that Oliver wasn’t sad about being adopted, just like any kid who gets mad at their parents, they sometimes wish or imagine what life would have been like with someone else or somewhere else. I know I did the same when I was mad at my parents. The artwork is beautiful and all around a sweet adoption story.

Oliver was playing pirates and fell out of a tree. He could have gotten really hurt, but didn’t. However, his daddy told him to stop playing in the tree because it wasn’t strong enough. This made Oliver mad and started to question where his real parents are, Oliver is adopted. Oliver thinks about all the places that his parents may be, but ultimately decides that it was for the best because they couldn’t take care of him. After cooling off, he makes his way to the kitchen where his parents are baking cookies – he got to lick the batter. He tells his parents that he could have had a completely different life. While that may be true, his parents reassured him that he was very much wanted by them and that made Oliver feel better. I love books on a diverse subject. This would be great for those who were adopted to be able to read about it. While I think the animal chosen for the book is a little weird looking I am sure kids won’t mind.

I am new to the Mermaid Science Series by Lois Wickstrom. I read this book with my little girl, who is obsessed with all things mermaid! The storyline is sweet and endearing and I love how the author mixes fiction and science so perfectly. Maia and Fig are sweet little friends who inspired us to plan our own picnic. If only we could meet a mermaid on our adventures!!!
My daughter and I really enjoyed this book. I was a great bed time read and we plan to read the other books in the series soon.

This is a very well-written book about adoption and the feelings that kids may have. Not only does it cover how an adopted child may feel but it also talks about how children may feel when they are mad at their parents and might wish they want a different life. I appreciate how the author approached the topic and made it a fun story that is entertaining yet covers real and important topics. This is a story that I will be sharing with my grandson. We have custody of him and it will help us explain some of how he feels is normal. Big feelings are okay. Great book that I recommend.

Oliver is stuck in his room. His father sent him there for playing in a tree that was too young to be climbed. Oh, if only he still lived with his birthparents! What could he do if he were with them? Be a scientist? Or a trapeze artist? Do other people wish for other parents when they are angry with their own? Updated to adoption language of the 21st century.
Lois is a former high school chemistry teacher and former head science teacher at Science in the City Summer Camp in Philadelphia. She has also been an adjunct science teacher at the University of South Florida. Since retiring, she continues to take science classes. Her class in Forensic Biology led to Little Red, The Detective, in which Red is studying fingerprint identification, so she can tell that “Grandma” isn’t who she says she is.
Lois has taken so many science classes that she believes science is the solution to almost every problem, including the dilemmas in fairy tales. She has invented what she calls Science Folktales. In each science-based tale, the protagonist achieves a better ending than the original because of learning scientific principles. She has turned some of these tales into plays for children.
She has also created a series of Mermaid Science stories, which make use of water science.
Lois is married to the love of her life. She has two children and four grandchildren, and a dog. She gardens, rides her bike, and tries to save the planet.

During a picnic, Maia the Mermaid makes an ice cube necklace for Trezzie.
When Fig almost drowns in the water, the ice on the necklace becomes bigger and helps Fig stay above the water, being used as a life preserver.
Reading this made me feel like I was back in 5th grade science class. Learning about the phases of water. Now only did I enjoy the pictures but it was great to learn about water and how it freezes.
I think I am starting to get into middle grade books again after so many years of not reading them.
So many great things to say about this book! The illustrations are beautiful and very colorful, first and foremost. They will capture the eye and grab the reader’s attention! I love the story too! Maia and Fig are having a picnic and Maia is showing Fig how to make an ice cube necklace. Fig has a lot of questions about the ice cubes….why are they getting smaller…how do they float on water…how to blow the hole to add the string. Then, Fig falls into the water and the necklace is thrown to her to help her to safety. I love how the author intertwines science with safety in this cute little book! The last page goes into more scientific depth about ice and water. There are elements in this book that will appeal to all young learners!

The Mermaid and the Ice Cube, Mermaid Science, by Lois Wickstrom, is part of an interesting series of books that help the readers see that science is all around them, not just in a classroom. Kids of all ages will get excited about learning science from everyday objects. The illustrations are beautifully rendered, with fun colors and scenes. This is a fast read that can lead to a fun learning experience by talking about and recreating things the characters did in the book. Maia and Fig are having a picnic when Trezzie, the mermaid, shows up. Trezzie loves the way the ice cubes sparkle and asks them to make her a necklace out of them. As they do they talk about all kinds of things about ice, water, and how it changes forms and melts. When Maia gives Trezzie the necklace, Fig (who can’t see Trezzie because she doesn’t believe in mermaids) sees the necklace floating in the water and decides to jump in after it. As she’s swimming for the necklace she has a leg cramp, will the mermaid she can’t see save her? I found this to be a great way to open up a discussion on water safety with the readers. The author has not only brought science to everyday life, but the need to believe in things, and also how it’s important to be safe and think before you act. I think parents, teachers, and kids alike will love this book and learn from it. The last page goes into more scientific details about water and all its forms, so even adults or older children can learn or refresh their knowledge.

Maia and Fig are beside the lake, having a picnic of lemonade and sandwiches, as they are eating, Trezzie the mermaid comes over to see them and asks about the ice cubes in their lemonade, when she sees how pretty they are, she asks Maia to make them into a necklace for her. As Maia does this, Fig cannot see Trezzie and becomes jealous when Maia gives her the necklace and because she thinks it is just floating away, she goes into the lake to rescue it, but when she does, Fig gets a leg cramp and nearly drowns, but Trezzie comes to the rescue.
Will Fig start to believe in Trezzie now she has rescued her? This is a charming book with lots of facts, as well as a lovely message which is a joy for all ages.
