This is a simple story that celebrates imagination, working together and thinking about how to solve a problem. Straight forward, but fun.

Hipster bunnies create Frankenstein Owls to save their beloved home Cloud Town.

I feel like this shouldn't exactly work but it does. And the animals are all created out of felt which makes for a very fun style. Comes with instructions to make your own owl too. :)

Cute little book, good for really young readers and it included a sewing pattern for the owls!

I can’t get over the details in these characters. Everything is hand made or stitched.

I love the way this is illustrated. Is that the right word? All characters are created with fabric and it tells a lovely story.

I saw this on youtube somewhere and I had to have it. I was a little obsessed with finding it. It is full of beautiful work and pictures. Part of me wants to share it with my niece but she is only 3 months old and I'm afraid if I give it as a gift now it will end up like all my picture books did when I was growing up but it's that a part of growing into stories.... this is a situation that sucks and I was pretty free wheeling before with books but the collector in me is so very selfish. It would be a lot easier if I didn't live 8 hours away and this isn't costly. ^0^ Maybe I can be that crazy aunt that when she comes to visit you know you're going to get a story and drawing (on other paper). Maybe when she's older I can pass along all my books to her? The brought up a lot of thoughts and childhood memories for me. Love it.
