About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is transitioning into a phase of life that requires more independence and quiet fortitude. It is a beautiful choice for moments when you want to celebrate a rite of passage or simply deepen the bond between a parent and child through a shared, awe-inspiring experience. The story follows a young child and their father as they trek into the moonlit, snowy woods in search of a Great Horned Owl. It is less about the bird itself and more about the discipline of patience, the mastery of one's own fears, and the silent understanding that exists within a loving family. The poetic prose and hushed tone make it an ideal bedtime read for children ages 3 to 8, offering a comforting yet adventurous look at the natural world at night.
