Owl Moon (By Jane Yolen) – This is the story of a little girl who goes out with her Pa one cold winter night looking for owls. As they walk through the snow, she realizes she needs to be quiet, brave and keep herself warm if she wants to find an owl. Her Pa stops now and then to give an owl call and finally they hear an owl hooting back to them. Then the owl lands on a branch right above their heads and stares down at them before spreading its wings and soaring away. The little girl is amazed at seeing the owl and as she walks home with her Pa, she realizes that all you need to find an owl is hope.
