In Owen the Busy Groundhog, you can join this lovable furry friend on a bustling adventure! Endlessly curious, Owen is always on the go, digging burrows, munching on delicious peaches or figs, or diving into the creek. But when winter arrives, he knows it’s time to hibernate. He curls up in his cozy burrow until the first signs of spirng. When the warmer weather awakens Owen, he peeks his head out, ready to start a new round of adventures–and perhaps get into some mischief!

Dr. Lisa Crim Galioto is a pediatrician who has been taking care of children and adolescents for over thirty-five years. She and her husband of thirty-one years split their time between Potomac, MD and their creek house at Colton’s Point, MD (where Stella, Henry, and Owen live). Lisa enjoys spending time with family and friends, as well as traveling, cooking, playing piano, and knitting. After publishing Stella the Mama Osprey in 2023, she decided to continue the series based on the animals in her own yard by sharing Owen the groundhog’s story with the world!
