A nighttime wait for three little owls

Three baby owls wake to find their mother away, and the dark brings questions about where she is and what might be moving nearby. The story stays close to their shared worry as they wait for her return, then closes with a burst of joyful activity when she comes back. Its simple situation gives the book a clear focus on separation, uncertainty, and reunion, with illustrations described as showing the owls from striking perspectives. In this padded board-book edition, the familiar bedtime premise is presented for young children through the experience of the owls themselves.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Toddlers and preschoolers encountering stories about missing a parent or caregiver.
  • Young children who enjoy animal characters, especially owls and birds.
  • Caregivers looking for a bedtime story centered on waiting and reunion.

Book overview

When three baby owls awake one night to find their mother gone, they can't help but wonder where she is. Stunning illustrations from unique and striking perspectives capture the owls as they worry about their mother: What is she doing? When will she be back? What scary things move all around them? Not surprisingly, a joyous flapping and dancing and bouncing greets her return, lending a celebratory tone to the ending of this comforting tale. Never has the plight of young ones who miss their mother been so simply told or so beautifully rendered.
