In this heartwarming blend of memoir and nature writing, ecologist Safina chronicles his family’s journey in caring for an orphaned eastern screech owl. With lyrical prose and compelling photographs, the picture book captures Alfie’s journey from a fragile nestling to a mother raising her own chicks. Fascinating owl facts are seamlessly woven into the narrative, making this an engaging read for nature lovers. This intimate, beautifully told story is capped by an author’s note.
