Stacey O'Brien, author of Wesley the Owl, to speak April 24, 2010

Stacey O'Brien, author of New York Times bestseller Wesley the Owl: The Remarkable Love Story of an Owl and His Girl, will speak at the Julian Branch Library about her book and her experiences with Wesley.

"I love Wesley the Owl! Not since Konrad Lorenz have I read such an honest, vivid, and revealing account of the rich and complex life of an individual bird. Stacey O'Brien has captured the essence of the soul of an unforgettable owl. Affectionate, quirky, joyous, and wise, Wesley shows us the Way of the Owl -- the way to God and grace. This book is destined to become a classic, and will deepen importantly the way we understand birds." -- Sy Montgomery, author of The Good Good Pig
