10-Year-old Girl Helps Mother owl, Baby Owlets in New Children's Book
By: Robert Diamond Jul. 17, 2018
Luella is a 10-year-old girl who lives on her family farm in Idaho. Feeling a strong sense of a responsibility for the animals who live on the land, Luella develops a bond with them and soon finds herself in the care of a family of owls in "Luella and Nita the Owl" (published by Archway Publishing). The new book, the first to be published in author Nancy Gaenzle's planned "Luella" children's book series, is available for purchase at: https://www.amazon.com/Luella-Nita-Owl-Nancy-Gaenzle/dp/1480863246.
On the farm one day, Luella discovers a mother owl with three baby owlets residing in a nest in a cottonwood tree. The young girl decides to take responsibility for the owl family, and develops a unique relationship with the grateful mother owl.
The story celebrates a wholesome, simple lifestyle. Luella thrives in tending to nature - and gains a greater appreciation for animals. For her efforts, the mother owl gives Luella a gift she will never forget.
Gaenzle hopes her book will encourage readers to, "develop a sense of wonder about their possible relationship with the animals in their lives."
