Right in the middle of a very busy city, there is a peaceful place. It's a cosy park, closed off and forgotten, a true oasis. This is where you will find Ollie, the little blue owl and his friends - a small stork, a young frog and five little birds. Together they all have lots of adventures.
If you want to meet them, you are very welcome there…if you can find them.
