Owl Moon is a 1987 children's picture book written by Jane Yolen and illustrated by John Schoenherr. It won a number of awards, most notably the Caldecott Medal for its illustrations,[1] and appeared on the public television series Reading Rainbow. It has been translated into more than a dozen foreign languages, including French, German, Chinese, and Korean. In 1989, Weston Woods Studios adapted the book into an animated film narrated by Yolen.
Yolen described the book as a positive family story, saying "It's about a girl and her father. Usually stories of a little girl are with her mother. It is gentle yet adventurous, quiet yet full of sound."[2]
