Ollie on Stage
When Ollie the ogre sees a flyer for the local talent show, he feels the bright lights of the stage call to him. He just knows he'll win first place! Only, he's not too sure what exactly his talent is. With some help from his friends, Ollie learns to work with his strengths (which happen to be his strength!) rather than against them and finds that the best way to shine is to be yourself.

Kirkus Reviews - Ollie on Stage
A slapstick celebration of the process of discovering and honoring what makes us and our friends unique.
Author: Keith Brockett

Developing these various talents was a real challenge for Keith, and some funny, farcical and frustrating situations frequently arose as he strove to become an ever-better performer. At times he felt just like poor Ollie the Ogre did – clumsy and cloddish - but nevertheless, doggedly determined! Keith lives in New York, New York.
