When the pine tree was chopped down to become a Christmas tree, an unexpected stowaway went also - a tiny screech owl. With the help of the local wildlife rescue, the family who found the owl was able to feed it and set it free.

Such a cute true story with a happy ending. While the author personifies the owl with a name, the events are true to the real story. Parsons’s illustrations give the story a colorful life.
