Annie the Wannabe Easter Owl: Book 1 in the Annie the Owl Series (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781949780062)

Annie the Wannabe Easter Owl is a heartwarming story about Annie, a young owl who feels perfectly fine about herself until Easter approaches. She starts to dream of being pink like the bunny or fluffy like the chick. She could wear wooly feathers and be like a lamb, or maybe even go green easter grass glam! She could even develop a brand-new habit and make use of her time by helping the rabbit!

Annie gets so excited that she can't decide who or what she should be. She wants to be loved as much as her Easter friends, so she turns to Wise Owl for help. After humorously showing her how confusing it can be to try to be everyone else, Wise Owl lovingly helps Annie see that,

The very best thing you could ever be...
