(2) PS Illustrated by Jeanette Winter. Mère et fils Winter commemorate "Rocky," the tiny Northern Saw-whet Owl found in the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree in 2020. Jonah Winter's text is simple but completely factual, with nary a hint of anthropomorphizing: "She now had a name: Rockefeller. She didn't know anything about that, though. She knew about being an owl." The owl's journey from the forest to Manhattan (and back, hallelujah) is dramatic but not scary, with Jeanette Winter's characteristic small-framed paintings offering ­coziness and comfort and lots of ­gorgeous forest greens and blues.
