This book was very enjoyable. I also have a son with a seizure disorder, and it came on suddenly with little warning signs I missed before hand. My kiddo was only 6 when it happened, but wow...that part was relatable for me personally. I loved the way she wrote about the owls and people who helped her find them. :) I hope Miriam gets to see her snowy, great gray, and Hawk owls someday. Snowies and Great Gray's are SO delightful to watch, I've spent a lot of time photographing both. Anyway, I really loved this book.

What a treat it has been to read Miriam Darlington's beautifully written book "The Wise Hours"! You may be a skeptical person such as I was going into this, but trust me, you will be so pleasantly surprised.
Was I expecting to learn a lot about owls in general? Yes. Did I? Also, yes, a lot. But what caught me off guard, in the best way, was that this book is about family, and community. It brought warmth to me on these cold days. The characters we get to meet are just as fascinating to me as the owls.
I've also made a list of sites and people to check out throughout my read. It contains so much great information! Am I a birder now? Maybe. Ok, probably.
