Belle Finds Her Power
Teaches kids to see beyond their screen.
What if a story could be dropped into a young mind and help them see the dangers inherent in too much screentime? Well, here it is…
A beautifully illustrated tale about a little girl who becomes more and more miserable thanks to her new phone. Fortunately for her she has a pony, two horses and a flock of very caring sheep who are prepared to go to great lengths to rescue her and remind her that happiness is found with real friends and in the wonder of nature.
An adventurous story for ages 5-10.

“A timely tale to help children avoid getting sucked into smartphone dependency”
In my mind Belle Finds Her Power is a tale based on a universally true story. I hope this wonderful book is read as far and wide as possible - it will lead children outside and remind adults of the importance of bringing young ones closer to nature. This is a book about what really matters in life: care, love, true friendship, and the importance of being present - and of course the magic of animals and how lucky we humans are to have them in our lives. Olson artfully puts into words the harm caused by phones and social media - the robbery of wonder, creativity, and of childhood. If we could all find the power like Belle then the world would be a far, far better place. A moving and much needed tale for all ages!

Inspiration for Belle
I wrote this book as a result of seeing several children and young teens who have been negatively affected by phone use. Some of them have become so addicted to their screen that they are refusing to go to school and stay up through the night scrolling.
It has been fascinating to see how my sheep and horses are able to reach the parts of these children that parents and human therapists can’t.
Some children have returned to school as a result of immersing in nature at my therapy field and the others are engaging with education online.
Belle Finds Her Power has been written to help save young kids from the dangers lurking within the digital fog.
