Late one winter night a little girl and her father go owling. The trees stand still as statues and the world is silent as a dream. Whoo-whoo-whoo, the father calls to the mysterious nighttime bird.

But there is no answer.

Wordlessly the two companions walk along, for when you go owling you don't need words. You don't need anything but hope. Sometimes there isn't an owl, but sometimes there is.

Distinguished author Jane Yolen has created a gentle, poetic story that lovingly depicts the special companionship of a young child and her father as well as humankind's close relationship to the natural world. Wonderfully complemented by award-winning John Schoenherr's soft, exquisite watercolor illustrations, this is a verbal and visual treasure, perfect for reading aloud and sharing at bedtime.

4.5 (Muito bom)

Uma bela memória

Um livro que fala sobre uma memória, e as memórias nem sempre são emocionantes, dramáticas, ou cheia de grandes acontecimentos. E tá tudo bem. Essa história é calma com imagens bonitas, e para mim a mensagem que fica no final sobre paciência, esperança e Fazer algo com alguém que ama. O livro em inglês, em formato tipo poema, mas de fácil compreensão, com poucas palavras difíceis. Recomendo para aqueles que querem uma leitura mais tranquila.
