The Story

A baby owl tumbles from his nest and, with help from a new friend named Squirrel, searches the forest for anyone who matches his description of Mommy — big, pointy-eared, or otherwise.

Why It's Special

For toddlers who feel every separation as a small emergency, this one turns that worry into a gentle, forest-wide search with a friend by your side.

  • Big idea: Asking for help and describing what you're looking for is how you find your way back to who you love.
  • Vibes: Warm, retro-bright, and reassuring despite the wobble of being lost.

Perfect For Kids Who

  • are working on separation anxiety and comfort with being apart from a parent
  • enjoy spotting forest animals like bears, bunnies, and squirrels
  • respond well to a repeating search-and-check pattern
  • love bold, colorful illustrations
