The illustrations are soft and charming. The text is rhythmic and rhyming and repetitive. The story tells the simple tale of a young owl who watches his older siblings fly away and leave the nest, but is afraid to attempt to fly herself. When she finally does, she’s glad because she then sets up her own nest, and hatches her own chick. My one criticism is that there’s no actual compelling reason that finally spurs the chick to try flying: after repeatedly refusing the attempt she just finally does.
