And Owly also succeeds at leaving teachers smiling at the numerous opportunities for practicing prediction making, detail finding and sequencing. From the smallest of smiles on a reluctant reader’s face to a more profound understanding of the core messages by the stronger reader, Owly holds something for all students. Each panel is a singular instance of expression with interpretive discussions just waiting to be had.Īfter reading Owly, both young and old will carry away a smile. Owly's message and format are actually quite complex and it is exactly that complexity that makes the wordless format overflow with possibility. This simplistic format doesn't mean that Owly is a simple read. It would be best to call that something, uncomplicated joyfulness. The premise is one of those hard to describe things where there’s something more hiding just below the simplistic surface. The entire Owly series will appeal to any age with simple black and white drawings that glow with kindness. Owly: A Time to Be Brave is the fourth in a series of wordless graphic novels by Andy Runton.
