OllieΓÇÖs Treasure is tale of mindfulness for young, developing minds. ItΓÇÖs a story about how simply noticing and taking in what is on offer to our senses can lead to the Holy Grail of treasure ΓÇö happiness. OllieΓÇÖs Treasure takes children on a treasure hunt. OllieΓÇÖs grandma sends him a treasure map that promises to lead him to ΓÇÿsomething that will make him happy alwaysΓÇÖ. Of course, Ollie thinks this ΓÇÿsomethingΓÇÖ 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 grandmotherΓÇÖs 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.
