"On December twenty fourth a legend occurred. 

"Who's in the forest?" Some say they heard. 

But for one small squirrel it was for sure. 

Christmas came that night 

to all the animals in the world. 

For the love of one, spread to all.

A holiday to remember

by a simple Christmas ball."

The Legend of Santa Owl is a tale of a little squirrel who finds a sparkly ball. When he takes it to his dear friend Ollie the Owl he is just as stumped to what the ball so he sets out to find out what it's for. When Ollie discovers it's a Christmas ornament and sure to bring gifts, he flurries to his dear friend Norman to deliver the news. Norman hangs his ornaments and rifts off with visions of hazelnuts, walnut & berries in his head. But what will he discover when he awakes?

 As Yang and I snuggled into bed for our nightly story, we pulled out the Kindle and began reading The Legend of Santa Owl. She was instantly drawn in by the beautiful pictures and wonderful rhymes. Ollie the Owl teaches us the magic of friendship and shows us to what extent we will go to make our friends dreams comes true. A wonderful Christmas themed book for the young, and young at heart.

When Ollie visits a nearby farm he learns that Norman's ball will bring gifts when hung by a tree he flies home tell Norman all about it. Norman hangs the ball inside his tree and drifts off in hopes of gifts by his bed. When Ollie realizes that no one is coming he sets off to find out why and help his friends dreams come true, but will he be able to on a holiday meant for only humans?
