To See an Owl

Janie has always dreamed of seeing an owl. She searches high and low, but months pass, and they're nowhere to be seen. Her teacher Mr. Koji, a fellow bird-lover, tells her: if you are very quiet, very patient, and look very close, you might just find them. From Caldecott Medal-winning Matthew Cordell, To See an Owl is a book about the particular discipline of paying attention and about what the natural world offers to those willing to wait for it. Cordell drew on his own years of birding for the story, and the illustrations have the hushed quality of a winter wood at dusk. A perfect gift for any child who loves animals, nature, and the quiet thrill of discovery.
