The story of Owly Owl
Owly Owl is tiny — a small round lilac-purple bird about the size of Tardy’s head, which is exactly the right size for his favourite place in the world: the Lair Bear’s shoulder. The biggest one in the forest and the smallest one in the forest go about together, and it is Owly who rides. He is the night bird of the cast, and that gives him the kindest job of all. Owls are awake at night — really, truly, in the actual world — and so Owly stays up so you do not have to. While the forest descends, rung by rung, one small pair of round eyes stays open up on a branch, on a shoulder, on the top of a seat back, keeping the gentle count of everyone gone. A child who worries that sleeping means missing something can stop worrying: Owly is on duty, he has always been on duty, and in the morning — hoo — he will tell you everything.
