They say when the Owl calls your name
that the Creator is calling you home.
And when the owl comes to you,
he sits and waits until your final breath.
Then your journey begins.
This gorgeously illustrated book for all ages, based on “The Owl Song” by Alan Syliboy & The Thundermakers, explores Mi’kmaw spirituality, life and death. It features imagery inspired by his band’s performance material and an author’s note on Mi’kmaw tradition and Syliboy’s own personal experiences with death. This book for all ages is a poignant depiction of what might happen when the Owl calls your name, and you begin your journey home to the ancestors.
Hardcover. 32 pages. 20.5 cm x 20.5 cm. All ages.

This is his fifth children's book.
