The Owl Who Dared -- Stephanie Stansbie, Hardcover

A young owl is afraid to fly because he keeps trying and falling to the ground. But as Mommy Owl continues to reassure him that he'll succeed if he keeps trying, the little owl finds the courage to not give up.

A little owl is scared of flying, because every time he opens his wings, he tumbles to the ground. Mommy explains to him that it will take a few failures before he succeeds, and soon, the little owl feels brave enough to keep trying. An uplifting celebration of courage and learning how to handle life's challenges.

About the Author
Stephanie Stansbie has been a children's books editor for more than 20 years, and an author for the last 10. She adores editing and writing in equal measure and has always worked on illustrated books, where the art is as important as the word. The books she has written have been translated into more than 15 different languages. Stephanie lives in Oxford and enjoys goofing around with her family and friends, and practicing capoeira.

Frances Ives' love of all things drawing started in childhood, when she dove into an obsession with poster paints and making a big mess on every available surface. This hasn't changed much. She still works primarily in water-based media, but these days she mostly tries to keep it on the paper. Frances takes her inspiration from the structures and people that surround her, drawing from both observation and memory. Her most abiding source of inspiration is still the constant yet ever-changing sky, and all of its colors.
