Description
Little Owl and Little Wolf have so many questions for their parents. "Why can't we move our eyes?" "When will I no longer be a pup?" But owls don't ask "Why?" They ask "Whooo?" And wolves don't ask "When?" They ask "Hoooow?" Mum and Dad say it's silly to even consider asking those sorts of questions.
Feeling teased and misunderstood, Little Owl and Little Wolf decide to run away from home for good. After straying too far from the path, the pair discovers that they're lost in the forest and begin to wonder if they've made the right decision by leaving the pack. Little Owl and Little Wolf realize that the only way to make it back to their families is to not be afraid to ask the right questions, their own way.
This heartwarming tale of friendship from author Michelle Garcia Andersen and artist Ayesha Rubio will remind young readers that by staying true to yourself and embracing what makes you unique, good things come to you.
