1988 Caldecott Medal Winner

"As expansive as the broad sweep of the great owl's wings and as close and comforting as a small hand held on a wintry night . . . The visual images have a sense of depth and seem to invite readers into this special nighttime world." School Library Journal, Starred Review

This is a beautifully illustrated and simple story of hope and trust as a young child goes "owling" with her father. Excellent story for dads to read aloud to young children during the long winter evenings.
