Ollie'S Treasure: Happiness Is Easy To Find If You Just Know Where To Look!

Ollie'S Treasure: Happiness Is Easy To Find If You Just Know Where To Look!

Ollie?s Treasure is tale of mindfulness for young, developing minds. Ollie?s grandma sends him a treasure map that promises to lead him to ?something that will make him happy always?. Join Ollie on this treasure hunt through surroundings he?d never truly appreciated before! 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, rather than in material possessions. Ollie had thought that the treasure would be a toy, walkie talkies, or maybe even a new game, but he gets a big surprise when it turns out to be him! Now available in paperback, the original hardback edition was shortlisted for the Speech Pathology Australia Book of the Year Awards. Find out how simply using our senses and noticing the world around us can lead to the best treasure of all in this beautifully illustrated adventure.
