Coloring Pages Contest!
Here is the cover of Who’s That I Hear. It looks different, right? We recognize the boy but he doesn’t seem the same without the vibrant colors. Here, dear Owlets, is where we need your creativity! Take out your crayons, paints, or colored pencils, glitter, feathers, or doodads, and let your imagination run wild! Create this picture as only you can and share/tag on the Owlets & Co. social media pages or send an email. Illustrator Julie will select a favorite and give the young artist reasons why. Remember, every artist is once a beginner!

Book Nook: Who’s That I Hear?
Children can’t fall fast asleep when things go “bump” in the night. Is it the wind? The creaking floors? A monster? Or just their imagination?
In the delightful new children’s book, Who’s That I Hear?, from award-winning author DJ Hill, our young hero is unsettled by unfamiliar sounds in his bedroom. Written primarily for children ages 2-6, Who’s That I Hear? follows one little boy’s journey as he’s reassured by his parents and works up the courage to find the source of the strange noises himself.
