Our hero The Little Owl

Unsere Helden - Die kleine Eule

It all began in 2013 with a bump in "The Little Owl". That was when Oetinger Verlag published the first prank by author Susanne Weber and illustrator Tanja Jacobs: "“Ow!” Said the Owl". It has sold over 500,000 copies to date and is currently in its 26th edition.

The cute owl has conquered the hearts of the youngest children, their parents and grandparents in no time. So the duo Susanne and Tanja continued the stories of the owl and many more adventures and everyday stories were created around this character. In addition, there were the little owl's friends, who also appear here and there on their own.

In the meantime, a large owl world has emerged, which, in addition to the cardboard picture books for the little ones, also consists of picture books, audio books, an app, a YouTube channel, tonies® and non-book articles.
