Owl Know How is about solving problems, big problems that can only be solved
by owls. Enter the magical world of Cloud Town and meet Cornelia Rabbit and
her bestfriend Orvi. With help from their friends they save the town from falling
into the treetops by working together and using ‘owl know how’. This picture story
book was created by the team of Cat Rabbit and Isobel Knowles. Everything
was created out of felt, cardboard and various other recycled materials. These
two local Australian artists are award winning, internationally recognised and
command their own cult following in the indie craft and art scene.
