Join the owls in the aspen grove as they nurture and raise their young through winter, spring, and summer. Using their superior eyesight, sound absorbing feathers, and powerful talons they have the hunting skills they need to constantly deliver prey to their young. But the owlets need to be protected as well as fed.
"The Smallest Owlet" is based on a true story that happened in the aspen grove behind Georgia Graham's house where an owlet fell from its nest. Mother Owl stayed on the ground with the owlet, heroically protecting it until its flight feathers developed.

"Beginning with the eye-catching cover art, Graham's illustrations are absolutely outstanding… The Smallest Owlet would be an excellent individual or small group read and would certainly have a place in natural science classes.
Highly Recommended"
