Owl in a Straw Hat is a masterfully written children’s book by New Mexico’s favorite storyteller Rudolfo Anaya. It is a delightful tale about a young owl named Ollie who lives in an orchard with his parents in northern New Mexico. Ollie is supposed to attend school but prefers to hang out with his friends Raven and Crow instead. Ollie’s parents discover he cannot read and they send Ollie off to see his grandmother, Nana, a teacher and farmer in Chimayó. Along the way, Ollie’s illiteracy causes mischief as he meets up with some shady characters.
Join us as we read about Ollie’s misadventures on the road to Wisdom School, and the greatest lesson he learns – the value of knowing how to read!
