Owl Babies by Martin Waddell illustrated by Patrick Benson

A perfect book to read to a toddler/preschooler before leaving them for a long period of time---to reassure them that mom will come back!  Three owl babies wake up and wonder where there owl mother is and spend time reasoning why is away.
The illustrations are amazing-lots of black (it is night) and with the only other colors being white, brown, blue tinges and green.  The perspective changes too-from inside their nest, to faraway view of their tree, to an aerial view as the mom swoops home.
