                                         away. After being cared for at a wildlife center, the owl was released

                                      Noon gets home from school sad and angry. Someone made fun of
                                      her dark skin and wild curls. He told her she should leave.
                                      But Noon doesn't want to leave. And she shouldn't, because Noon
