Owl is certain she’ll win the forest’s winter games. After all, she’s always been good at everything before. But when the competitions begin, Owl discovers that talent alone isn’t always enough—and that confidence can sometimes get in the way of learning.

With humor, heart, and Katy Hudson’s signature woodland charm, this story explores the difference between self-confidence and arrogance, while encouraging children to embrace growth, effort, and humility.
