A tender tale to remind the youngest of children that Mommy always
comes back.
"I want my mommy!" Three baby owls awake one night to find their mother
gone, and they can't help but wonder where she is. What is she doing?
When will she be back? What scary things move all around them? Stunning
illustrations from striking perspectives capture the anxious little owls
as they worry. Not surprisingly, joyous flapping and dancing and
bouncing greet the mother's 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.
