Owl Babies
Owl Babies | Martin Waddell
12 posts | 13 read
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."

I have three kids...and dang this is relatable. I really feel children‘s books are written for the parents reading them as much as they are for children. That Bill is just like my Middle. “Hey, Dad. Where‘s Mom?” 😄😄😄 This was cute. Not a lot happening, but these babies aren‘t ready to leave the nest yet. And really, who doesn‘t love some owl babies!? 19/1,001 #1001ChildrensBooks (Picture represents my face with my needy-AF kids...😂🤣)

mabell Sounds great! Mom, mom, mom... 😂 6y
Texreader Great photo pic! And if I fall in love with a kids‘ book, then that author has done their job! I can name a few I love love love to this day from my kids‘ baby, toddler, and kid days. 6y
AshleyHoss820 @mabell Aaahahaha!! YES! 😂 6y
AshleyHoss820 @Texreader Exactly! I have a few faves from all stages! I can even tell you my favorite from MY childhood! 6y

Cute, lovely illustrations, bold colors, captures separation anxiety fairly well -- but we never find out where Mama Owl went! #1001booksbeforeyougrowup

On the evenings I go out, my daughter waits up for me and then, upon my return, requests we read Owl Babies together. For those who aren't familiar, it's about a mom who disappears in the night, and about the babies who await her return. ... My 2-year-old is legit guilt tripping me. (P.S. Tonight, for International Women's Day, I went to my local bookstore to sing resistance songs with a brand new choir.)
