This is a Non-Fiction Children's Book that I read to my twin boys, and they loved this book so much. I really found this book to be so much fun to read. I loved all the pictures. I also think this book teaches everyone about owls which I enjoyed. I love birds so much. This was a fun and cute read. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

What a great story about the natural world and filled with photographs worthy of National Geographic. As indicated by the publisher's blurb, it is the story of one tiny rescued owl and those who ensured her survival as well as those of her progeny at a time in the human world when life was viewed as more precious because of the restrictions and more because of a growing pandemic. The reading level is no less than middle school but is well suited for reading alone or WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to everyone, but especially to a school, hospital, or your local public library!
I requested and received a free temporary advance uncorrected proof on Adobe Digital Editions from W. W. Norton & Company/Norton Young Readers via NetGalley. Thank you!

What a cute read.

Alfie was so easy to love and cheer for. Loved watching her grow, learn and all the things.

Sweet book for those that love the outdoors, wildlife and a feel good story.

What a fun book learning about how this family helped a rescued near death screech owl. Their lives were then blessed because they got to watch the owl they helped return to nature raise 3 broods and put 10 new screech owls out into the world from the safety of their yard and love. What a fun experience they must have each year as Alfie comes back to their yard to raise her latest babies.

Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for the chance to read this ARC.

This is the story of Alfie, an owl who survived due to a miracle when he was found lost and alone as a baby. Thankfully, the person who found him called wildlife experts for help and Alfie found a loving home. Alfie's family made sure to provide the love and care she needed while also letting her have her freedom, and when she got older, she decided to stay there and raise her family with her mate.
This is a fantastic book with fantastic nature photos Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

Beautiful photographs illustrate the story of Alfie, the rescued Eastern Screech Owl. Interesting, informative and loving . I've had to reread this several times. Thanks to Netgalley.

I <i>love</i> animal rescue stories! The vast majority of my exposure to this sort of stuff is YouTube, but I was really pleased to see this absolutely amazing chronicling of a family’s experience saving a little owlet and watching her grow up, leave the nest—so to speak—and make a life for herself! We get to see a bunch of really cool photos of this owl’s life journey, the experiences she has, and the companions she makes. The book doesn’t really have an ending for the owl, but is rather open ended because so is this beautiful bird’s life.

I found the book inspiring and beautiful. It’s not very long, but you get a lot of exciting photos of this owl’s journey and the family who saved her. Her story is one that has taken place over a long period of time, but it’s certainly one that isn’t over, even if the book is. I’m really excited for everyone who has a chance to read this book and who may one day be inspired to take care of animals they may meet in their life should opportunity ever arise.

It’s really wonderful, also, how the book encourages helping only when needed and the goal always being to return these animals to their natural habitat. Definitely a wonderful read and a book worth owning!

What a great story about Owls! Alfie, the little owl gives life to the story, while being extremely packed full of information for young readers! I love how the pictures are real life photographs.
