Notes

From the 2023 Caldecott press release:
Owl has one wish – to become a knight. He works hard and graduates with honor. Assigned to the Knight Night Watch, Owl faces a frightening intruder. Quick on his talons, Owl proves that cleverness and kindness can rule over brawn. With dramatic lighting and subtle foreshadowing, Denise creates an immersive medieval world.
