Our Mission: The Doctor Owlkin book series was created to raise the self esteem and confidence of children with special needs, disabilities, or differences and teach other children acceptance and inclusion of those with differences or disabilities. Even though others may be “different,” we find that inside everybody just wants to be loved, encouraged, accepted, appreciated, and included! Doctor Owlkin, the members of The H.O.M.E. Team, and the animal characters in the books become the heroes who find a way to make their diversity or differences an attribute or advantage. The H.O.M.E. Team is led by wise old Doctor Owlkin and loving Nurse Sharky, who bring together their helpers. As Doctor Owlkin always reminds the team, “It’s WHOOOOOO you are on the inside that matters most!”
