Owl Moon by Jane Yolen
Owl Moon, a young child and their father set out on a quiet, snowy night to go “owling.” Under the stillness of the moonlit forest, they listen, wait, and hope to hear the call of a great horned owl. Jane Yolen’s poetic language and John Schoenherr’s beautiful illustrations capture the magic of nature, patience, and the tender bond between parent and child. This timeless story invites readers to slow down, notice the world around them, and experience the wonder of a single shared moment.
