What this book is about

Jane Yolen's Caldecott Medal-winning picture book follows a child and father on a moonlit owling expedition — quiet, cold, and full of wonder. John Schoenherr's illustrations perfectly match Yolen's prose in capturing the particular magic of being small and trusted enough to go somewhere beautiful and difficult in the middle of winter.
