Gr. 3--5. In this nearly wordless graphic-novel companion to Owly: The Way Home & The Bittersweet Summer (2004), best friends Owly and Wormy meet a stubborn bluebird that lives with its family in an old tree stump. After learning that the birds' habitat is in danger, the friends decide to build their surly neighbor a new home. However, Blue turns his nose up at offers of a new house, even threatening Wormy, so the compassionate owl and worm give up and pack the little home they made into the closet. Later, when the seasonal rains endanger Blue and his family, Owly and a worried Wormy come to the rescue. The humanity and sweetness of the first book are replicated here, as is the deceptively simple line work, which conveys the story with a flair and subtlety that makes words unnecessary. A genuinely charming book, which, like its predecessor, shows innocence, friendship, and kindness as part of a universal language. A book to share across the age levels Tina Coleman
