23. The Strength of Owls, Turtles… and Kids
Each of these books showcases the hidden strengths in nature—and in us. Kids will be amazed by the abilities of owls and turtles, and inspired by Firefox, who’s surrounded by animals on her own adventures. Arnolda Dufour Bowes’ Maggie Lou, Firefox shows how hard work and perseverance can bring valuable new skills, without losing one iota of irrepressible spirit. Nicola Jones’ Saving the Spotted Owl is a fascinating nonfiction deep dive into an owl chick’s rescue. Michelle Kadarusman, meanwhile, shows us the majesty of ancient creatures through eight evocative stories told in We the Sea Turtles. Come be inspired by the wonder around us and within us. Grades 4–7. Moderated by France Perras.
