  • Owl Moon A father takes his daughter out to visit an Owl on a winters night

    This children’s book is absolutely beautifully written and illustrated. I read it to my daughter 30+ years ago again and again. I now have two grand girls that will thoroughly enjoy this book. I gave it to my son in law to read to Eleanor and Charlotte.
