Learning to love the dark

“Each year, come the autumn, the owlets are trying on their adult voices, wobbly whooo hoooos echoing from the woods as they call out the boundaries of their first homes alone. We don’t know what each winter will hold for them, or for us. But they know what they’re doing.”

An editorial illustration exercise inspired by The Guardian article <How owls helped me conquer my fear of the dark> by Polly Atkin.
