Little Owl's Love

Overview

The star of Little Owl's Night returns to find love in his beloved nighttime forest.

"What do I love?" Little Owl thought.
There were so many things. . .

Gliding along on a quiet night, Little Owl looks for the things that make him happy—shimmering stars, winking fireflies, listening to the cricket song, and most of all, spending time with his good friends. Lyrical and deeply heartfelt, Little Owl's Love is perfect for Valentine's Day and is a love letter to the natural world on a child's level.

“Little Owl loved surprises.”

Flying in the magical night sky, Little Owl, a small brown bird with enormous, luminous green eyes, spots his friend Hedgehog, who is happily snuffling through a newly discovered mushroom patch. “Don’t you love finding mushrooms?” Hedgehog asks. “It always feels like such a surprise!” This gets Little Owl thinking: What does he love? Stylized, colorful, and appealing illustrations show what our avian hero sees, from shimmering stars and croaking frogs to snoring bears, a mysterious beaver’s lodge, and some hidden butterflies. The more Little Owl looks, the more he finds. His friend Raccoon shares some beloved activities, too, and Little Owl remembers other amazing things he has seen and experienced. As the night comes to a close and he heads home, Little Owl is filled with wonder at the forest and his many memories, which he can’t wait to share with Mama. Just right for bedtime, this simple, charming tale beckons young listeners to stop for a moment and share some of the things they notice and enjoy. (This book was reviewed digitally.)

A paean to the wonders of the night and an invitation for children to observe, appreciate, and discuss what they love. (Picture book. 2-5)

Kirkus Reviews

* "The writing is spare and evocative, and the art is striking. Against a night setting, the colors of the animals jump off the page in all their beauty. Children will love the characters and the beautifully illustrated story." —School Library Journal, starred review
