About the Book

Ollie’s Treasure is 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.

Review :
"An interesting story to teach young children how to find happiness in things other than toys. A good book with a simple but important story for all young children. Do get it!" "Author and clinical psychologist Lynn Jenkins is savvy about the tools for engaging the social and emotional development of children, and Kirrili Lonergan’s illustrations are vibrant and energetic, depicting Ollie (a mouse) in constant action." "Ollie's Treasure is such a beautifully illustrated book and will relax children using mindfulness techniques to tune in to the sounds, smells, taste and touch that calm the mind and body and help them take a step back to enjoy life and the simple joy of little things." "This picture book sends a very important message to children in an uncomplicated way about encouraging mindfulness and living 'in the now.’ It is a lovely story that I am sure young readers would enjoy!" "An original story with a wonderful message.' "fun-filled picture book about mindfulness' "a story that points to the value of mindfulness for our children in a world of hustle and bustle and gadgets" "They enjoyed Ollie’s treasure hunt and found the illustrations wonderful. The children all agreed the best part was when he realised that he actually had the treasure the whole time. The teachers loved this book and thought the story was beautiful and a great book to show the wonders of things if we just look around." "A tale of mindfulness for young developing minds" "as part of a programme for young children’s mental health and well-being, it offers a good starting point for reflection and discussion." "A gorgeous testimony to the art and importance of mindfulness, Ollie’s Treasure reinforces the value of appreciating the simple enduring things in life, like a grandmother’s love, over mere materialistic possessions. Dreamy illustrations and gentle prose make this a story to share." "Jenkins reminds us how the little things in life become commonplace, losing their uniqueness, but should be experienced as treasures themselves. Through Lonergan's animated watercolor and ink illustrations, readers will enjoy the "cheeky rat" Ollie as he hops, jumps, and spins his way across the pages filled with beehive-shaped houses and colorful gardens using each of his senses... A wonderful exercise in finding that happiness isn't that far away, and is perfect to use in the classroom." "Through simple text, this charming story sends a powerful reminder of how many of us who are in search of happiness do not realise that happiness starts from within" "A lovely and important book that extols the importance of learning to be content with yourself, which will always make you happy."
