What does it mean to be wise? Believing that is what she's supposed to be, the Owlet sets out to discover how to become wise, learning from the other woodland animals and befriending them along the way...and in the end, discovering the answer just may not be what she expects. How the Owlet Learned to Be Wise is the first project of author Blythe Ford and illustrator Sara Turner, begun by Ford as a gift for her young cousins. The story centers around themes of kindness, empathy, understanding the viewpoints of others, and being true to who you are.
