Olive Owlsly & The Moon-Egg Mystery

A dreamy desert tale about stargazing, imagination, and moons that might just hatch.

Why does the moon look so round? So full? So… egg-like?Olive Owlsly is a curious, dreamy little owl with big thoughts and even bigger questions, especially about the moon.One windy night in California’s Anza-Borrego Desert, Olive stares up at the glowing sky and imagines something incredible. She imagines that the moon isn’t just bright — it’s shaped like an egg. And maybe it’s about to hatch.With her Emergency Adventure Kit (string, goggles, and a single cracker) close at hand, Olive learns that imagination, courage, and a little quiet wonder can turn even the stillest night into something magical.Set beneath desert skies, Olive Owlsly & The Moon-Egg Mystery is a gentle bedtime story that supports social-emotional learning through curiosity, creative thinking, and emotional self-trust.

Whooo is Olive?

✨Hi! I'm Olive.✨

Hi! I'm Olive.

I'm the main character in Olive Owlsly & The Moon-Egg Mystery.
Nice to meet you! A little bit about me...
I'm a small owl that lives in the quiet desert
where stars sing lullabies and clouds whisper secrets.
I'm very curious!
Do you know what curiosity means?
It’s when you have a lot of questions...
and you just have to know more.
Ms. Quiverleaf says curiosity makes life magical.
I think she’s right!
When I'm not stargazing, I'm cozying up in my owl box,
reading a story and eating a warm cactus-shaped cookie.
Come dream with me — there's so much to wonder about.
