Amanda Shea Brings “Olly Olly Oxen Free” to The Maple Staple’s Featured London Book Fair Display

“Olly Olly Oxen Free” by Amanda Shea will be part of The Maple Staple’s featured book presentation during the three-day 2026 London Book Fair. Displayed at Stand 6A100 from March 10 to 12, the title joins a curated selection of independent works highlighted by the Toronto-based bookstore, offering visitors an opportunity to explore stories designed for readers of different ages and interests.

The children’s book follows young Benjamin, who begins searching for God after hearing a challenge from his pastor during a Sunday church service. Curious and full of questions, he takes a journey through his home, farm, and town, documenting his observations as he tries to understand where and how faith can be found. Written as an accessible introduction to spiritual reflection for younger readers, the story uses simple storytelling and everyday experiences to explore ideas in a way that encourages curiosity, observation, and thoughtful discussion.

Amanda Shea is a real estate investor based in Fairfield, Connecticut, where she lives with her husband and two children. Her inspiration for writing the book grew from observing challenges faced by young people in recent years, leading her to create a story that presents faith as a source of comfort and understanding. Drawing from family life and personal experience, she writes with the intention of helping children engage with questions about belief in an approachable and supportive way.
