A bedtime desert tale about wonder, starry skies, and the magic of imagination.
Why does the moon look so round? So full? So… egg-like?
Olive Owlsly is a curious, dreamy little owl with big thoughts and even bigger questions, especially about the night sky.
One windy night in California's Anza-Borrego Desert, Olive stares up at the glowing sky and wonders if the moon isn't just full, but egg-shaped, and maybe even ready to hatch.
Armed with her Emergency Adventure Kit (string, goggles, and a single cracker), Olive sets off to learn more. With gentle guidance from her favorite teacher, Ms. Quiverleaf, she discovers that imagination, wonder, and quiet courage can make even the stillest nights feel magical.
Set beneath the stars and desert winds, Olive Owlsly & The Moon-Egg Mystery is a cozy, heartwarming bedtime story. It supports social-emotional learning (SEL) through themes of curiosity, creative thinking, and emotional self-trust.
Perfect for:
- Kids ages 4 to 8
- Dreamy readers who love animals, stars, and big "what ifs"
- Parents, educators, and therapists looking for gentle stories that explore big feelings
- Families seeking a thoughtful, funny, and imaginative bedtime read
This is the first story featuring Olive Owlsly, a desert dreamer with a big imagination and an even bigger heart.
