Local Author Holly Olsen Releases New Book


ists. She was inspired by the United Nations 17 Global Goals for sustainable development and decided to rewrite traditional songs and poems to coincide with each goal.

As a mother of four, Olsen believes that learning about social justice issues should start young, and this book is the perfect


way to do that! Children everywhere memorize nursery rhymes, but have you ever noticed that many nursery rhymes are nonsensical or even a bit disturbing? Olsen recognized this as she was reading bed- time stories to her daughters. She then took the opportunity to change the narrative so that her young children could memorize poems and songs that, if applied, could make the world a better place, and at the very least, could start conversations about important issues facing our society. The book has rhymes about climate change, equality, poverty, health, hunger, education, and peace.


Nursery Rhymes for Social Good was released in December, 2016 and it quickly became a Top New Release on Amazon. It was even featured by the United Nations blog: Global Moms Challenge. The bottom line is that the book is fun and clever with adorable illustrations, and was written by one of our very own here in Connecticut.
