Saguaro Cactus
Feb. 1, 2024
I Love You Baby Cactus is perfect to read and give this month of February, for Valentine's and for lovers of prickly, lovable succulents and little ones. It's always been one of our bestsellers here at Little Owl House, and I'm so touched and delighted when I hear from readers who love the book. Writing by this I was so inspired by my own mischievous, adorable little munchkins. AND by living and hiking in Tucson for a couple months and falling in love with the huge, fascinating saguaro cactus (they can grow up 50 arms, get 50 feet tall and live over a hundred years!). #succulents #cacti #babies #family #love #valentines #February #2024 #bookworm #amreading #bookstagram #booklovers #tucson #arizona #nationalparks
Better Together
Feb. 1, 2024
We Are Better Together is such a fun book for Valentine’s, celebrating the magic of companionship and the transformation and joy doing things together. This delightful book by Roger Priddy was such a tattered, battered favorite in our household we read it over and over again. The part about all the ingredients joyfully coming together to make pizza was the absolute favorite of Luna and Wolfie. Click on the image to get a link to the book. :)

Dads for Valentines
Jan. 31, 2024
Another great book we have here at Little Owl House for Valentine's Day is Everything Is Better with Dad, because, as you all know, everything really IS better with Dad. :) Here's a fun video of one of youngest editors Luna reading the book! :) Click on the picture to watch the video. #dads #love #familyfun #amreading #bookstagram #childrensbooks #picturebooks #animals #valentines #2024 #February #fatherhood #parenthood #kids
Gibran for the New Year
Jan. 13, 2024
I had the most thoughtful note recently from a Little Owl House reader who loves Gibran. Lebanese-American mystic Kahlil Gibran is one of our all time favorite writers too! And it was such a pleasure to work on this video about our Little Owl House collection of his parables and poems, If Your Heart Is a Volcano. Wolfie, our youngest editor and incredible helper (after his recent birthday, age six), says this is one of his favorite videos to watch and it makes him feel all warm and calm inside. What do you think? What is your favorite Gibran parable? :) Click on the picture to watch our video of Gibran parables! :) #gibran #literature #classics #poetry #poems #parable #wisdom #spirituality #lebanese #mystic #lit #books #amreading #bookstagram #bookshelf #toread #bookworm #newyear #2024
Happy January and New Year
Jan. 5, 2024
Happy New Year! Do you have any fun plans or meaningful intentions set for the New Year? We just got our America the Beautiful pass and are so looking forward to exploring more wilderness this year! I've been fascinated to look and find all the national parks in different states that I haven't seen yet. So far, we've seen the Petrified Forest, the Grand Canyon, Joshua tree, Death Valley, and wandered around prairies in Oklahoma to see bison. We are so excited to see and do more wilderness adventures and exploring in 2024! #nature #nps #nationalparks #deathvalley #grandcanyon #joshuatree #wilderness #nature #outdoors #exploring #adventure #newyear #2024 #intentions #familyfun #family #kids #children #roadtrips
