'A stunningly told, beautifully illustrated and distinctly Australian bedtime story

'Sunset beckons. Moon appears, and Tawny Frogmouth stirs. She begins her nightly flight, watching over all the animals nestled down to sleep in the burrows and branches of the beautiful Australian bush.

Australia's native Tawny Frogmouths are often mistaken for owls, are like owls are nocturnal. 

'This beautiful bedtime book follows the journey of the Tawny Frogmouths as they soar through the skies and through the night ... keeping watch over native fauna as they settle in for their safe slumber.'  (Publication summary)

Thankfully, she’s got a surprising sea friend to help her.'
