A funny and relatable picture book perfect for Thanksgiving and for parents looking to teach 3-7-year-old kids about accepting differences, looking beyond stereotypes, and friendship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Owl is so excited to meet Platypus\u2014his favorite didgeridoo musician, who just confirmed he’d be part of Owl’s Fall Feast! Owl is over the moon! But there is just one problem: What does Platypus eat?<\/p>\n

Checking in with his friends offers no good insight. In fact, he learns that Groundhog is lactose intolerant, Hare has an allergy to carrots, Sparrow is a vegetarian, and Tortoise prefers to eat the flower centerpiece!<\/p>\n

Will Owl be able to see past his preconceptions of his friends and other species, and be accepting to everyone’s differences?<\/p>\n

Full of humor and tenderness, this book teaches readers valuable social-emotional lessons of accepting others for who they are.<\/p>\n
