![]() ![]() ![]() When my firstborn was small, we were careful to teach him a Canadian alphabet. And as I thought of more and more animals, it made sense at a certain point for my little fanciful bestiary to also become an abecedary. I was so determined to find a place for my secretive owls that I built a whole compendium of animals around the idea, from homebody iguanas to foxes who love the camera as much as it loves them. My initial reason for writing Owls Are Good at Keeping Secretsis contained in its title, which was a line cut from the final draft of my book This is Sadie. I’ve always loved alphabet books and now I seem to have accidentally written one. In this list, O'Leary shares some of her other favourite Canadian abecedaries in all their amazing varieties. A window onto the secret inner lives of our animal friends, secrets you always suspected, and which make perfect sense-of course dragons cry at happy endings, and meerkats love a parade. Owls Are Good at Keeping Secrets is the latest release by Sara O'Leary, illustrated by Jacob Grant, and it's going to find its way into many households this holiday season, because it's just purely delightful. ![]() ![]() A recommended reading list by author of new book, Owls are Good At Keeping Secrets. ![]()
