About this product

Product Information

From the Author (Robbyn van Frankenhuyzen): "For twenty years we have rehabilitated a wide variety of wild critters, from fawns, foxes, skunks, and crows to opposums, raccoons, rabbits, and owls. Some of the animals were injured adults, others were orphaned babies, but all of them were in need of a little help to get them back into the wild. Growing up on a farm, as well as my training as an animal technician, prepared me for many of the medical situations that arose. Gijsbert took every opportunity to sketch, paint, and photograph our temporary guests during their stay on the farm. More importantly, Gijsbert was issued all the Federal and State permits needed to care for birds of prey. Without these permits, we would never have been able to care for hawks and owls. For good reason, caring for these birds is very tightly regulated and closely monitored. Taking an owl from its nest is dangerous and illegal. We have cared for many Great Horned Owls but none of them were like Jackson, the owl in this story. His personality was unique from the very beginning and we know that we were lucky to have shared such a close bond with this wild bird. This is the true story of his life with us. Enjoy." With illustrations from Gjisbert (Nick) van Frankenhuyzen, noted wildlife artist and illustrator of our Legends series as well as The Blue Spruce by Mario Cuomo and L is for Lincoln: An Illinois Alphabet.

    Jackson the Owl

    I loved this book. Although it is more for children, being a true story I really loved it. If you like/love owls, this is a must read! Beautiful story about this amazing creature whose life might have been doomed but was redeemed in finding his forever home with people who loved and cared well for him. A family he chose for himself!

    Adopted by an owl

    A great book. It is well written, and the artwork is just beautiful. Everyone in my family loves it. Definitely not just for children, but a book equally enjoyed by adults, as well. It brought back wonderful memories of when I had rehabilitated an owl 35 years ago. I will never, ever forget the experience. He was set free when he was well enough to fly again. I still miss him!!!
