The Choir Owls

Who are the choir owls?

The choir owls are small, round owls in brown, cream and grey, with big amber eyes and little ear tufts. They sing in the Night Choir, led by the grand owl.

Where do the choir owls sing?

The Night Choir has a place for everyone. Owls up high. Frogs down low. Crickets in between.

The choir owls sit at the very top, on the highest branches of the concert hall in the treetops. They sing the high notes of the Lullaby, with their beaks open wide.

What happened when the Lullaby went missing?

When the words of the Lullaby went missing, the whole Choir went quiet. Without their song, nobody in the forest could sleep.

Then Vela and her friends found the lost words. And the choir owls sang again, high and sweet, until every little creature in the forest fell fast asleep.

What are the choir owls like?

The choir owls are wide-eyed, cheerful, and always ready to sing. One of them is usually a little bit sleepy.

Mysteries

Some things about the choir owls are still a mystery, even to us:

• How many owls are in the Night Choir?
• What are their names?
• Do they ever sing during the day?

Maybe the stories will tell us one day.
