A MUST READ

This book is written with sensativity and tenderness. Bringing to light a world that most of us don't know or even think about - What a mental eye opener. A must read!

Tenderly Crafted

"The Boy Who Saw Snowy Owls" looks at a jaded world through the eyes of a young retarded boy, Richie. Tenderly crafted by a seasoned wordsmith-who is a poet at heart-you'll marvel at Don Jacobs' skillful use of language and imagery. He's a writer's writer. His depictions of New England life are deliciously authentic. "Snowy Owls" is a story of cruelty, compassion and deep love. It's also all about weakness, fallibility and heroism. But, most of all, it is the story of a young boy who never utters a word, yet captures your heart. You'll read this short work from cover to cover before putting it down! Here's hoping we see more from this author in the future.

Sensitive and insightful

A wonderful read about a young boy's simple look at life due to his circumstances. You'll giggle, you'll get angry and you'll cry, but you will not close the book disappointed.
