    Hi! It's me, Ollie. Oliver J. Pratt to be exact. I am the loveable and adorable canine member of the Pratt family, trustworthy brother to Kat and Luke Pratt. For non-dogs, Kat and Luke are pretty cool. However, they seem to experience a lot of new adventures. Lucky for them, I am around to help them out. I am super excited about today's adventure. Kat and Luke meet another sibling pair who are new to school but not new to town. This adventure has a lot of fun things going on, such as bravery and courage, sports and competition, and sibling teasing and fun. Boy, wait until you see what happens. However, I will let you know that my favorite part is learning about seeing and celebrating our abilities. We are all beautiful and unique. God has given each of us a different set of gifts and talents. Always remember, nothing is too great or too small for God to handle.
