Ophelia’s Big Idea - a story about courage, kindness and community

Based on the true story of a young girl in Jersey whose bold idea inspired an entire community, Ophelia’s Big Idea is a powerful reminder that one person can make a difference, no matter how young.

When Ophelia decided she wanted to help children who had less, her determination turned into something extraordinary. What began as a simple wish grew into a Christmas event that brought people together and created joy across the island.

Beautifully written by local author Sophie Jane Young and illustrated by Palak Rani, this festive picture book celebrates generosity, leadership and the magic that happens when people unite for a good cause.

A lovely bedtime story for children, it carries a message that will inspire both young readers and adults alike.

Every copy sold helps Caring Cooks of Jersey continue supporting local families through meals, education and practical help.

This is Ophelia (above). At just six years old, she gave her birthday money to Caring Cooks so that other children could have food. Such a kind and thoughtful little girl, whose big idea has gone on to inspire others to make a difference too.
