Critics Review
“An owl comes to embrace its nocturnal nature in this moody story that revolves around finding one’s place… Rendered in grayscale with pale spots of color, Lorho’s pencil and paint artwork depicts the protagonist’s plight sympathetically as he moves toward the calm that comes with self-awareness.” -Publishers Weekly
“So cute! I love the illustrations of Owl as he searches for the answer to his nocturnal problem! Really really cute read, and would be a fun way to share that not all animals are awake during the day with kids!” -McLean & Eakin Booksellers, Petosky, MI
