The Christmas Owl

Once again, the cover page illustration was the first reason I read this book! Such an adorable little owl!

This beautiful and sweet story is about a little owl named Rockefeller and her adventurous journey to New York City's Rockefeller Center. The author of this book Ellen Kalish is the director of Ravensbeard Wildlife Center.

Title: The Christmas Owl

Author: Ellen Kalish / Gideon Sterer

Illustrator: Ramona Kaulitzki 

Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers

The little owl was living in a tall pine tree, until, one cold winter morning, few men arrived and started cutting the tree in which she was living. This particular pine tree was chosen to be the one to stand in the famous Rockefeller Center in New York City during this Christmas season. Unfortunately, when the tree was cut and was being transported, the little owl got trapped in between the branches and couldn't escape.

The little owl and her friends in the forest never knew what Christmas was or never believed in the magic of Christmas. However, when the owl is found and saved by a woman (Ellen), the real Christmas miracle begins in the owl's life! The owl is taken to the wildlife rehabilitation center for recovery and care. Later, the owl is released back into the wild.

📚 An uplifting real story, perfect during Christmas, with gorgeous illustrations!
