A Curious Owl & A Runaway Ball |
|
When my son was in Grade 6, we started a little project together at our kitchen table.
It began with a simple question:
What if kids could decide how the story ends?
So we started writing a choose-your-own-adventure story.
The main character was a curious little owl named Emerald, who loved playing hopscotch in the meadow.
But one day, Emerald’s favourite ball rolls away…
Right into the forest.
Now the adventure begins.
Should Emerald follow it into the dark woods?
Every reader gets to make the choices, which means every adventure can unfold a little differently.
Now that my son is about to graduate high school, it makes me smile that the tiny story we started back then is finally out in the world.
And if you have a young reader who loves adventure, animals, and making their own choices, Emerald might become one of their new favourite characters.

Because Emerald is an owl, it felt only right that she should have a whole flock of friends.
If you're putting together a St. Patrick’s Day surprise, a spring gift, or even something fun for an Easter basket, you can explore my collection of owl hats here.
Each one has its own personality and colours - a whole little owl family.

And if you don’t see the exact owl you’re imagining, just reply to this email and tell me.
Some of my favourite designs have started with a message from a reader who said:
"Do you think you could make an owl that looks like…?"
Here’s to curious owls, brave little adventures, and stories that grow up with our kids.
