I love the Olivia books.

Ian Falconer, best known as the illustrator and author of the beloved Olivia children's book series about a spry and smart young pig, died on Tuesday in Rowayton, Conn. The author, illustrator, theatrical set and costume designer was 63 years old.
Initially created as a Christmas gift in 1996 for Falconer's then 3-year-old niece Olivia, the first Olivia book was published in 2000.
The author went on to illustrate and write seven sequels, culminating with Olivia the Spy in 2017. The series has sold more than 10 million copies, stayed on the New York Times Bestseller List for over a year, and won numerous awards.
I love this short recoding on how he was inspired to create his book 2 Dogs.
