Matthew Heroux and****Wednesday Kirwan’s picture book*Owl Love You* is a wondrous read-aloud book about how owls spend their waking hours at night.

The sun is setting, time to rise! At dusk, when an owl’s day is just beginning, a baby owl asks questions and a mama owl offers comforting answers in this gentle, reverse bedtime book, featuring lulling, lyrical text and luminous illustrations of the nighttime world.

“Heroux’s simple rhymes are a good bet for beginning readers . . . Kirwan’s painterly illustrations capture a lovely middle-of-the-night feeling with a deep, dark palette.” —Kirkus Reviews
