Owl Babies

Martin Waddell
Illustrator: Patrick Benson
When three baby owls wake up to find their mother gone, they feel scared and vulnerable. But their anxieties soon prove unfounded by Mum's safe return. This reassuring and stunningly illustrated book tackles the subject of temporary separation - a situation which all children are likely to experience, be it Mum going to work or first day at Nursery. No father figure is mentioned. Families Just Like Us

I was read to a lot as a child by people who knew how to read stories. These stories came alive for me, and the love of story has stayed with me ever since.
I live where I lived as a child, and nearly all my stories come from things that have happened to me here, at the foot of the Mountain of Mourne. I work in an old stone barn beside my home, and dream my stories in the garden and on long walks on the beach in front of my house. I never write anywhere else. This is where I belong.
