Owls Are Cool - The Importance of Celebrating Our Differences, for All Little Owls

Can a burrowing owl - who can't fly - and a snowy owl - who can't run - ever be friends?

Oscar is an owl; a COOL owl. And cool owls DO NOT fly - they RUN. ZOOOOOOOOOM! So when snowy owl Reggie comes along, swooping and swooshing through the sky, Oscar's not impressed at all. But when Reggie crashes into a tree, Oscar discovers that maybe they are not so different from one another after all...

A funny and heartwarming story about how being different is cool. It introduces the burrowing owl and their spectacular legs and beautiful burrows to small children.

A propos de l'auteur

I have written lots of picture book stories (including Mungo and the Picture Book Pirates, Dinosaurs in the Supermarket and Eleanor’s Eyebrows) and a few books for older children (of which my favourite is My Uncle Foulpest: Dinosaur Disaster). I write funny stories mostly, and, when I’m not writing for children, I write plays and I co-write musicals (with clever people who can write music because I can’t). I live in Surrey, which is very nice – but disappointingly empty of dragons.Born in New Zealand, Jason Cockcroft grew up in the north of England and studied illustration at Falmouth University.
