I have seen the other Owly books and the illustrations are colorful and detailed so I am sure this will please many graphic novel fans.Īnything you did not like about the book. The ARC that I reviewed contained illustrations in black and white but the final version will be in full color. What is great about this chapter is that the reader learns a little bit more about hummingbirds such as what they eat and where they live. These tiny birds get into all kinds of trouble but Owly and Wormy work together to help them–now increasing their little friend group even more. In the next chapter entitled “Flying Home”, Owly and Wormy team up to help a pair of hummingbirds. It is not until Owly meets a very distressed worm (Wormy) that he discovers true friendship. He provides seeds to little birds and even helps release some trapped fireflies, but these creatures are afraid of Owly so they do not stick around to be his new friends. In the first chapter entitled “Finding Home”, Owly is desperately trying to make new friends. This book reinforces that message by showing a kind-hearted owl caring for others in the woods. What did you like about the book? The Owly books were created by author/illustrator Andy Runton as a way to show young readers how to be compassionate and supportive of others.
