A GREAT Gift

For Kids of All Ages


About The Book

This book was written from my heart, to my daughter Olivia. Her desire to say goodnight to God and the conversation that followed will lift your spirit and lighten your heart. The illustrations are as beautiful as the book itself.   Beth Ann Mammola-Koravos


About The Author

Beth Ann Mammola-Koravos was born June 6, 1968. She spent her childhood in Milford, New Hampshire. She is the youngest of five girls and was raised by her mother. Her father died when she was very young. Beth was raised in Catholic Faith, and grew up right around the corner from Saint Patrick’s Church.

An Executive Secretary prior to her marriage. Beth now resides in Massachusetts with her husband Charlie and their three daughters Allison, Alexandria and Olivia. Her first book was born when she caught her youngest daughter Olivia under the window shade one night. When asked what she was doing, she replied, “Saying goodnight to God.” When laughing with the Priest at her daughter’s Catholic School about the incident, Father Bob said “There is a book in the making.”

 


About The Illustrator

Helena Bebirian is of first generation Armenian heritage. Her culture prides her with a vast love of many arts and cultures.

Helena began her passion of art doodling as a child, winning local awards for her work, as well as in her handwriting. She is a colorist, where she splashes much color on a canvas, and a creative formation comes out of her work. Colorful, innocent and yet with a vivid imagination, Helena brings out the sweetness and innocence of illustrating children’s books.

Helena feels that we should put forth and search our inner spirituality and all regress back to our childhood to bring back the sweetness and innocence of our children.

Helena stated, “Our children are of beauty, innocence and love, and may that always be contagious.” Especially in this children's book, we can all somehow relate back into our faith and feel the love we have for and from God.

 


Reviews

Good Night God, Love, Olivia is a delightful story of a little girl who captures your heart as she searches to satisfy her desire to say good night to God. She insists on telling God all about her adventures that take place in her daily life in spite of her Mother's coaxing Olivia to go to bed. Her Mom decides to capture the moment and turns Olivia's quest to say goodnight to God into an opportunity to teach her that God is happy whenever anyone who thinks of Him and has a thankful heart.

The beautiful illustrations are colorful and express the happiness and joy that one feels when they are reading this heart warming story.

Some stories originate from family lore, passed down through generations.
Others are passed up, from our children. Good Night God, Love Olivia (Lifevest Publishing, May 2006, paperback, 25 pages) is such a story. Author Beth Ann Mammola-Koravos walked in to her daughter's room one night to find young Olivia in conversation with God. What followed was the inspiration for Mammola-Koravos' first children's book Good Night God, Love Olivia. The book is a sweet conversation between a mother, a daughter and the God who loves each of us so greatly. In Olivia's gentle "goodnight" to God, we are all reminded to take time each day to thank and praise God for the many blessings in our lives. As Olivia's mother reminds her that God is always ready to converse with her, we too are encouraged to take quiet moments of prayer and reflection along life's journey. Bold, vibrant illustrations by gifted colorist Helena Bebirian bring Olivia's words to life, as we relive a day spent in the splendor of God's creation. Many families pause together each evening for quiet time, reading and prayers. Good Night God, Love Olivia would be the perfect accompaniment for the bedtime ritual of young children.
