Early Access Now Available at 25% Off
This is the story of Oli, an owlet who lives in a tree in a forest. Disaster strikes when his tree gets cut down and becomes the centrepiece of a celebration in a city very far away. To make matters worse, Oli remains stuck in the tree as he cannot yet fly. Oli is forced to travel an enormous distance from the forest to a city under very difficult conditions.
Along the way, Oli meets some intriguing characters who befriend and educate him. His journey not only helps him strengthen his personality but it also provides a knowledge base for him. The result is that Oli is transformed into a wise and influential owl who realizes his wisdom can make a difference in the world.
Author Rebecca Bauer states, “My story has a gentle environmental and deforestation message and provides many fun educational facts about the animal characters found in the forest. All of us—children, parents, grandparents, and educators—must become more sensitive to the problems of deforestation. Owls have a special place in storytelling. The adventure of Oli the Owl is an amusing and instructive way to appreciate the wisdom of ‘a wise owl’ so that we become more sensitive to some urgent issues of our planet.”
