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.

In the middle-grade book An Owl without a Name, a young Great Horned Owl wakes up on the ground one day with a broken wing and has no idea how he got there or how to get back home. The owl is taken to a rescue centre where he is surrounded by other owls recovering from different injuries, but he is worried, lonely and embarrassed that he doesn’t have a name. Soon he begins to make friends and heal, but is he ready to be released back into the wild?
