Owl Moon by Jane Yolen




















Setting: Winter, Night
Characters: Pa, Child, Owl
Theme: Family traditions

Pa and his child went owling. They had to be quiet, and then Pa hooted to the owl. It responded to him. They waited for more owls, but nothing happened. They went deeper into the woods, and Pa hooted again. The owl replied, and then they were hooting back and forth like they were having a conversation. Pa shined his flashlight on the owl, and they stared at each other. The owl flew away, and they started on their way home. Now they could talk. All you need is hope when your owling.
