2023 Calgary Herald Children Book Reviews

In this short chapter book, a young owl has fallen from his nest. Told through his perspective, people seem very strange, and there are a lot of things that are foreign to him. He longs to return to his family, but with his injured wing, he is taken to a rehabilitation facility. There he meets not only new humans but many other owls. Everyone keeps asking his name, but he just can’t decide on something that feels right. For young owl lovers, this is a cute story about friendship, love of family, and resilience.
