Ollie is known for one thing in his village: he is the only
owl who cannot “WHOO.” The other owls tease him for saying “WHEERE!” or
“WHEEN!” or “WHYY!” and sometimes “WHAAT!” All Ollie wants is to fit in, but
when his little sister gets lost in the woods, Ollie discovers he can help.
While providing insightful perspectives on diversity, The OWL Who Couldn’t WHOO offers
educators, libraries, parents and young readers a fresh new look on
anti-bullying and self-confidence.
The Owl Who Couldn't Whoo is a cute book to help teach children there are other words besides who to use to get information. These words are just as important to in your writing. Beautiful to use with first, second graders as they are starting their writing experience. Adverbs are important in writing. I loved the colorful illustrations as well. Beautiful art work.
Ever since LeeAnna Kail was little, she had an interest in
writing. In fact, when she was in the fourth grade, she completed a career
project and dressed as an author with dreams of writing her own book one day.
LeeAnna attended Duquesne University with a double major in
political science and English with intentions of attending law school after
graduation. While studying abroad in Rome, Italy, LeeAnna had a change of heart
and decided to continue her education at Duquesne studying elementary education
instead. She knew she found her niche the first day of class. Inspired by an
assignment from a children’s literature course, LeeAnna's dream of writing a
book has come true.
LeeAnna currently teaches in Pittsburgh and hopes to be an
inspiration to her students to follow their dreams.
