What is The Owl and the Woodpecker about?

The Woodpecker sleeps through the night and spends each day tapping away at the trees. The Owl, meanwhile, works after dark and rests in daylight. Their opposite routines soon lead to noisy quarrels that disturb every animal in the forest. But when trouble strikes, the two feuding neighbours must put aside their differences and help one another. With lively woodland scenes and a gentle lesson about understanding others, this charming story shows how an unlikely friendship can grow from conflict.
