Excitement soon turns into anxiety when Odelia realises making decisions are not as easy as it seems to be. How did Odelia come up with a perfect cake for herself in the end? This story explores the mind of a child in decision making, while working within limitations.

Exclusively from the people behind Odelia:

We did not start out with the intention of creating books. We started out creating class materials for GRAM’S as part of our language curriculum, often striving to incorporate character-building values within the content. To make it more lively and engaging, especially for young learners, we injected the character Odelia (and her illustration) when designing some of our class materials to make it more fun and relatable to the young readers.

Like many preschoolers, she often finds herself in ‘Oops’ situations, having to manage her emotions and thoughts, and trying to make ‘sound’ decisions while growing up.

Ages 18 mths to 3 years
