A girl and her father take a moonlit, winter nighttime stroll near the farm where they live to listen and look for owls.
Bundled against the frosty air, they trudge through the pristine snow. A wonderful tension builds as the father imitates the great horned owl's call once without answer, then again.
Finally, from out of the darkness comes a reply, echoing through the trees!
Author Jane Yolen has written more than 200 books.
