Little Tawny

High on a tree branch one moonlit summer’s night, a baby tawny frogmouth stood.

Kim Dale’s brilliant artwork and beautiful words tell the story of Little Tawny, who injures her wing and cannot follow her mother into the safety of the treetops. Hungry and frightened, she tries to hide, but suddenly she finds herself placed in a dark box, where she feels safe again until she arrives at the vet. Here she is fed and looked after, and Tawny finds that although she can no longer be with her mother, she has an important purpose in life.
