Three owls waiting for their mother

A nighttime absence gives this picture-book story its simple emotional arc: three baby owls wake to find their mother gone and wonder when she will return. Their worry and questions lead to a joyful welcome when she comes back, giving the story a clear shape around separation, reassurance, and reunion. The oversized board-book format presents Martin Waddell’s tale for very young children, with illustrations described as capturing the owls’ anxious feelings. The focus stays close to a familiar early-childhood experience—missing a parent—while ending in celebration.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Toddlers and preschoolers encountering a story about missing a parent
  • Adults seeking a bedtime read about separation and reassurance for young children

Book overview

"There aren't many 'baby books' that convey this kind of emotional richness supported by a perfect artistic form." -- Washington Post Book World

When three baby owls awake one night to find their mother gone, they can't help but wonder where she is. Beautifully nuanced illustrations capture the anxious owls as they worry about their mother: What is she doing? When will she be back? Not surprisingly, a joyous flapping and dancing and bouncing greets her return, ending this comforting tale with a sense of celebration.
