Book #2 in the Orris and Timble series
A rat wonders if his owl friend has forgotten him. Is their friendship over, or is there a new story to tell?
Orris the rat and Timble the owl share nightly tales in the barn. But when Timble stops visiting, Orris fears their friendship is lost. Has Timble moved on, or is there a new story waiting to unfold? As Orris grapples with uncertainty, the magic of their bond is tested. Discover the enchanting tale of trust and the stories that bind us in this beautifully illustrated adventure.
Every friendship faces challenges. Orris and Timble are back in a poignant and evocatively illustrated tale of trust from a two-time Newbery Medalist. Orris the rat and Timble the owl are unlikely friends. Each night, Timble visits Orris in the barn and listens to his stories. But Timble is growing up, and one evening when the owl doesn’t appear as usual Orris wonders if Timble has forgotten him. Is their friendship over? Or could it be that Timble has a tale of his own to share? Illustrated with wistful tenderness, the second title in a projected trilogy to feature this charmingly offbeat pair masterfully explores the stories we tell ourselves, the stories we tell each other, and the binding magic of friendship.
