Lately, my days have been filled with getting ready for Christmas, and getting my Christmas book ready! While A is for the BIG OAK TREE, was a brightly colored, vibrant book, my goal with this book is something old-fashioned, simple, and quiet - all done in pen and ink. No bright colors or other distractions from the age old Christmas story - the story that is so powerful all on its own!
An Owl For Christmas is the story of a little boy and his dad who go in search of the Great Horned Owl on a cold, December night. They venture down the wooded lane and, along the way, see many signs of a northern Christmas - lights blinking on their neighbors' snowy eaves, bundled up carolers singing sweetly, and snow-heavy pine branches. As they observe all this, little Jack learns of the real meaning of Christmas!
There are also a few pages at the end that give tips and suggestions on how a child can go on an owl hunt of their own, complete with a spot for recording their own owling adventures.
Here are a few teasers from my most recently finished pages.
While the book won't be ready for this Christmas, it will be in my Etsy shop early in the new year. Following close behind, will be
A Child's Nature Journal, where children can record their own observations from the great outdoors.
