Ollie Can't Sleep

Ollie imagined the monster walking out the door,

he imagined the monster falling through the floor,

he pushed the monster out the window crack,

but Ollie's monster kept coming back.

Ollie can't sleep, his mind is full of scary thoughts and the more he tries to make them go away, the more they insist on staying. Ollie's mum knows that his fears are very real to him and she helps him to understand that fun and fear are both made up in the mind. Can Ollie use the power of his fantastical imagination to send the monster packing and finally drift off to sleep?

Ollie Can't Sleep is a beautifully illustrated and humorous story that acknowledges the very real fears children experience. It explores the wonderful ways fears can be conquered and how our imaginations can empower us even as we face the unexpected. Full colour illustrations 32pp
