Critics Review
“It’s a good sight gag that encapsulates the book’s main point: Readers can expect bumps along the road to independence, but it’s a road worth traveling. Owl kinds of empowering fun.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Threading the needle between reciprocity and self-reliance, it’s a sweet, substantive hoot.” —Publishers Weekly
“A useful reminder to kids and their caretakers that independence is important even if it’s imperfect.” —The Bulletin
“This is an adorable and comforting story about relishing newfound independence that recognizes caregivers’ roles in encouraging such qualities in children. This would make for a wonderful bedtime story or conversation starter about how kids can practice independence.” —School Library Journal
