A determined Owl builds strength and confidence in this medieval picture book about the real mettle of a hero: wits, humor, and heart. Since the day he hatched, Owl dreamed of becoming a real knight.

That’s the discovery Knight Owl makes in 'Knight Owl and Early Bird,' the sequel to Christopher Denise’s solo debut 'Knight Owl,' which won a 2023 Caldecott Honor.
