Why are these owls so happy? That's just what the chickens, ducks, and geese want to know. But when they send a peacock over to find out why, they're incredulous at the reply. How could anyone be happy simply to see the rain and sunshine? What could be so joyful about the flowers and butterflies? This classic fable, first illustrated by Celestino Piatti in 1963, gives powerful testament to the beauty that exists in our world and to the importance of standing by your beliefs.--Front flap.
