A nice story about a boy and his friendship with an owl. They go out at night together, the boy walks and the owl swoops and sometimes sits on his shoulder.

This was my favorite book as a child, and we had the poem read at our wedding. Not only did the author respond to me after I emailed her, but she personally emailed me to attend a function she was hosting at our home town. Wonderful author, wonderful person.

I love how surreal this book was in a way modern children's books just don't seem to be.

I want an owl friend!
