Shooom, a baby owl, hatches just as a storm turns the bayou surrounding her tree upside down. No sooner has she fallen from her nest, the little fledgling totters off into the mangrove, pushing a second egg from the brood along with her. Come hell or high water she is determined to find a mother… even if that mom turns out to be an alligator or a raccoon! As she embarks on this dangerous journey through the mangroves, she encounters a series of wild animals before falling in with Walter and Rosie – two children determined to save her.
This cute little female owl has captured the hearts of people from all over the world thanks to the wonderful talent of creators Julien Bisaro and Claire Paoletti. We hope that she continues to garner many more. We are so proud to be a part of their great adventure.
