Summary

Ollie experiences the world through a unique lens, seeing ordinary scenes transformed into vibrant, imaginative spectacles. From a circus parade instead of traffic, to dangerous bison instead of cows, Ollie's perspective is delightfully different. At school, letters become lively birds and fish populate the blue sea Ollie envisions on the board. Despite his distinctive vision, Ollie enjoys his colourful world and believes he doesn't need glasses. However, he faces the challenge of whether his parents and his bossy older sister will come to appreciate his way of seeing things.

Description

Ollie doesn't see things the same way everybody else does (and he certainly doesn't see things the same way his older sister does). Instead of cars in traffic, Ollie sees a circus parade. Instead of cows grazing in a field, Ollie sees deadly bison with sharp horns and hooves. And at school, instead of letters on the board, Ollie sees birds with pointy beaks, and fish with flapping tails in the big blue sea.

Ollie knows he doesn't need glasses, because he likes the world better the way he sees it. But will his parents and bossy sister see things his way?

What Ollie Saw is a delightful exploration of imagination and perspective, capturing the whimsical way children perceive the world around them.
