I KNOW HOW TO DRAW AN OWL written by Hilary Horder Hippley and illustrated by Matt James

Hilary Horder Hippley’s I KNOW HOW TO DRAW AN OWL begins with the artistic talent of Belle who draws an owl admired by the teacher with eyes so wise it looks almost alive. It turns out the Belle’s secret comes from personal experience of an owl she’s come to know when sleeping in the “old blue car” with her mother, an owl that has sung his “hooty lullaby” until he appeared on a branch and she looked into his wise eyes. And with that wisdom, she comforts a new student whose life seems familiar to her own. Illustrator Matt James gives us an impressive owl as well as he presents the emotions of Belle.  Find out more about this book in the purchase link below.
