A New York Times bestseller (with a special sparkly cover)! Experience the beautiful story that captivated the country about a little owl found in the world’s most famous Christmas tree. 

When Little Owl’s home is cut down by people saying it will make a beautiful Christmas tree, she’s not sure she wants anything to do with Christmas, whatever that means. But then she is saved by a woman named Ellen, whose house is merrily decorated for the holiday, and filled with birds who need someone to care for them. Surrounded by kindness and helpful new friends, Little Owl begins to wonder if Christmas might not be such a bad thing after all….
 
Co-written by Ellen Kalish, caretaker of the real owl found inside the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, The Christmas Owl is a charming story of friendship, compassion, and the true meaning of this special time of year.

About the Author

Gideon Sterer is a New York Times bestselling author who grew up in the woods of upstate New York. Not too far away, his parents owned a wildlife discovery center where he would run around after hours and let the animals out. Currently, he lives in the Hudson Valley with his family.

Charlie Mylie is an author and illustrator who has created several books for children. What feels like a lifetime ago, he spent time traveling across the country as Pop Charlie, dressed in a conical gold hat, creating watercolor illustrations on the spot. Charlie also contributed to bringing the Rabbit hOle, an immersive children’s literature museum in Kansas City, to life. Now, he continues to collaborate by creating books with Gideon Sterer and other authors. Charlie haunts Kansas City with his wife, son, and a spooky black cat named Babs.
