In "Owen," a charming story by Kevin Henkes, young Owen is a small mouse who has a special blanket that he carries everywhere. This beloved blanket, which he calls "Fuzzy," offers him comfort and security. However, when Owen's parents decide it's time for him to give up the blanket, they try to find creative solutions to help him transition. Despite the challenges, Owen’s resourcefulness shines through as he discovers new ways to hold on to his beloved Fuzzy. Ultimately, the story celebrates childhood attachments and the importance of adapting to change while still keeping cherished memories alive.
