The Wise Owl Reads Many Books’ is a celebration of reading, playing on the fact that owls are often associated with wisdom. Each book included has a connection with Sussex – either the author was born here, they live here now, or perhaps the book is set in the county. Danielle Brooks is a freelance illustrator based in Hove. She aims to create warm, colourful, and joyful artworks that spark joy and recognition.
