Olivia Grace Boman, age 8, of Tuscaloosa, recently published her first book, Blessings, in the series, “The Adventures of Olivia Grace.”
Published: November 10, 2021
Olivia lives with her mom, dad and brother and enjoys reading, tumbling, crafts, the outdoors, swimming and baking. “I love to read,” Olivia says, “and I was inspired by the many books I read. I thought…. I can write a book, too.”
Olivia says she wanted to write about blessings during the pandemic. Since everything was so scary, her family especially focused on God during this time, and her parents reminded her how blessed they are and that we need to think God and embrace the blessing each day.
The first author in the family, Olivia said it was a lot of work, and she hopes to have a “ColorTivity” book releasing in November, an activity book to go with Blessings.
Olivia is the daughter of Dr. Victoria Boman and Atokie Boman. Victoria Boman says Olivia has always loved books and reading, and Olivia outlined three goals about writing her book. Olivia said, “Mama, I want to travel and read my books to children, I want my book in the library, and I want my book in bookstores. I want to inspire children to read and write.”
The book is self-published, and it can be purchased at http://www.OliviaGraceBoman.com, Amazon and Walmart. Many libraries also have the book.
