Sometimes, the stories that come to us are the ones our hearts have been holding for a long time.

*The Owl Without a Tree* is one of those stories.

It began with a single image: a once-proud owl, sitting alone in the shadows, not because no one cared — but because he didn’t know how to ask for help.

I wrote this book for anyone who’s ever felt like they lost their place in the world. Whether it’s a child navigating big emotions, or an adult carrying quiet struggles, *The Owl Without a Tree* gently reminds us that **needing help is not weakness** — it’s part of being human.

When Olwyn the Owl loses his home in a storm, he feels ashamed and invisible. And haven’t we all felt that way at some point? That if something bad happens, we should “be strong,” or pretend we’re okay.

But the truth is, community matters. Connection heals. And sometimes, love shows up not to fix you, but to sit with you while you remember who you are.

📖 *The Owl Without a Tree* is part of my **Forest Feelings** collection — stories that help children name emotions, understand empathy, and see their own worth reflected back at them.

Whether you’re reading it with your child or just for your own heart, I hope Olwyn’s story speaks to that quiet place in you that knows:
**You’re never alone. You’re always worthy. And help is a gift we give each other.**
