Ollie's Treasure

Ollie’s Treasure is a tale of mindfulness for young, developing minds. It’s a story about how simply noticing and taking in what is on offer to our senses can lead to the Holy Grail of treasure — happiness.

Ollie’s Treasure takes children on a treasure hunt. Ollie’s grandma sends him a treasure map that promises to lead him to something that will make him happy always. Of course, Ollie thinks this something will be a toy of some sort, but he gets both a rude shock and a big surprise when his treasure turns out to be him!

By following his grandmother’s treasure map, he is taken on a journey of his senses, encouraged to notice what he can see, hear, touch, smell, and taste. It comes as quite a surprise to him to realise that noticing such things makes him feel happy, and that the key to happiness can be found in his own mind, not in material possessions.
