Praise for
Praise for LITTLE OWL’S NIGHT by Divya Srinivasan:“This debut picture book gets it all just right. The story, while familiar, is executed deftly and with heart, and the crisp graphic elements of the artwork juxtapose well against the pretty prose.” –Booklist, starred review “The story’s chief virtue is its graceful, balletic prose… It’s a provocative inversion of the classic bedtime story, and a solid first outing. Srinivasan’s message is that night is a delightful place, and that’s useful knowledge for small children.” –Publisher’s Weekly “A graceful bedtime story celebrates the beauty found in night… Hold on to Little Owl’s tail feathers and soar.” –Kirkus Reviews”This exceptional first book by Srinivasan, a talented illustrator… follows Little Owl during his nighttime explorations… this bedtime tale may even convert children who are afraid of the dark into adventuresome night owls” -New York Times Book Review”This is the most visually and verbally gorgeous picture book of the year… Simple, dazzling - and simply dazzling.” –The Boston Globe
