Owl Moon

Summary

Late on a cold winter night a child and a father walk into the snowy woods to go owling, hoping to call a great horned owl out of the dark. The hushed, patient outing captures the bond between parent and child and the discipline of waiting quietly in nature. Schoenherr's wide, frosty watercolors convey the stillness and silver light of the woods, complementing Jane Yolen's lyrical text about hope and the rewards of stillness.
