John Hare worked as a production artist, graphic designer, and art director before realizing that he wanted nothing more than to bring stories to life for young readers. His acclaimed debut picture book, Field Trip to the Moon, was called a "close encounter of the best kind" by Kirkus Reviews and was named to numerous best-of-the-year lists. John Hare spent much of his youth drawing comics, writing silly stories, and exploring the countryside of Southeast Kansas. One time, he had several bait minnows left over after going fishing, so he put them in his goldfish aquarium, figuring he'd scoop them out the next time he went fishing. That fishing trip came and went, and well . . . let's just say the minnows lived happily ever after in the aquarium. The artist now lives in Missouri with his wife, two sons, and dog. He still loves to draw, write, and fish, but now he uses lures-like Alphonso!

Editorial Reviews

01/10/2022

With a baking tray belted to his small, feathery body, a saucepan for a helmet, and a wooden spoon brandished in wing, young Owl's desire to become a knight is clear from the first spread. His is a medieval owl family; his mother, wearing a white wimple, eyes his armor while holding a tray of dead mice. Eager Owl's chance comes when knights start to go missing in the kingdom and applications are solicited. Though his size makes training challenging (adorable vignettes show Owl struggling with a sword, then flattened under "even the smallest shield"), the bird's biological clock is perfectly suited to night watch responsibilities, and he soon encounters the dragon that seems responsible for the shrinking knight population. "You look like a midnight snack," the dragon tells Owl, menacingly, but Owl foils the dragon's violence with a surprising charm offensive that proves more effective than skilled swordplay. Through delicately conveyed firelight, deep shadows, and even an imagined tapestry, Denise ( Sleepytime Me) provides this cracking tale with illustrations that feel like fully fleshed animated classics as Owl's actions subvert a traditional conflict story line. Ages 4-8. Agent: Emily van Beek, Folio Literary Management. (Mar.)

Publishers Weekly

Praise for Knight Owl: A New York Times Bestseller! An Indie Bestseller Winner of Barnes & Noble's Best Children's Book of the Year Award An Amazon Best Children's Book of the Year A Junior Library Guild Selection An NPR Best Book of 2022 * "Denise gives youngsters an old-fashioned story with an amusing twist and a cute-as-a-button protagonist that charms on every level. This will satisfy a wide range of readers, from Dragons Love Tacos fans to wannabe knights."-Booklist, starred review

"It's dangerous to label any picture book a 'contemporary classic,' but Knight Owl tempts you to try.... Sweet and epic by turns."
- NPR

"Adorably earnest and gallant.... A charming blend of whimsy and medieval heroism highlighting the triumph of brains over brawn."-Kirkus Reviews

"Through delicately conveyed firelight, deep shadows, and even an imagined tapestry, Denise (Groundhug Day) provides this cracking tale with illustrations that feel like fully fleshed animated classics as Owl's actions subvert a traditional conflict story line."-Publishers Weekly

Praise for A Kids' Indie Next List Pick A Bank Street College Best Book of the Year"This sweet picture book acknowledges the special place each sibling occupies in a family.... Kids will savor adorable details, such as children's artwork on a bedroom wall and winsome animal students lined up for school in a tree. Charming and comforting."-Kirkus Reviews

"[An] ode to the middle kid. The illustrations are lush...with inviting joy, and the subtle shading and gentle linework of the pencil and digital art envelop the scenes with a cozy feel. A nice gift for a youngster expecting a new addition to the family."
- The Bulletin

"The author deftly describes precise situations that require compromise...Denise employs Photoshop, Procreate and pencil for scenes brimming with affection. This creative team parents three girls and here shares insights honoring the child who's sometimes overlooked."

From the Publisher

04/29/2022

PreS-Gr 3-This adorable book begins with brave and courageous Owl longing to become a knight; however, his small stature presents many problems, and there are those who doubt if Owl is up to the challenge of his future career as a knight. Owl's dream is too big to let the negativity of others stop him, so he tries out for the knighthood and gives it his best efforts. Denise crafts a humorous and witty book, allowing readers to share in the small owl's adventures and reflect on some of their own life challenges. The glorious images, reminiscent of the work of Arnold Lobel, add flare and intrigue, and when the Knight Owl defends the castle from the enemy, the details in the illustrations provide depth and add to the mythical fantasy for an outstanding conclusion. This is a great read-aloud that also teaches a homonym or two. VERDICT A clever tale for old and young; the lesson to hang on to one's dreams always bears repeating.-Tanya Haynes

A young owl achieves his grand ambition.

Owl, an adorably earnest and gallant little owlet, dreams of being a knight. He imagines himself defeating dragons and winning favor far and wide through his brave exploits. When a record number of knights go missing, Owl applies to Knight School and is surprisingly accepted. He is much smaller than the other knights-in-training, struggles to wield weapons, and has "a habit of nodding off during the day." Nevertheless, he graduates and is assigned to the Knight Night Watch. While patrolling the castle walls one night, a hungry dragon shows up and Owl must use his wits to avoid meeting a terrible end. The result is both humorous and heartwarming, offering an affirmation of courage and clear thinking no matter one's size...and demonstrating the power of a midnight snack. The story never directly addresses the question of the missing knights, but it is hinted that they became the dragon's fodder, leaving readers to question Owl's decision to befriend the beast. Humor is supplied by the characters' facial expressions and accented by the fact that Owl is the only animal in his order of big, burly human knights. Denise's accomplished digital illustrations-many of which are full bleeds-often use a warm sepia palette that evokes a feeling of antiquity, and some spreads feature a pleasing play of chiaroscuro that creates suspense and drama.

A charming blend of whimsy and medieval heroism highlighting the triumph of brains over brawn. (Picture book. 4-8)
