WHITEHALL TWP., Pa. – Friday is National Dinosaur Day, and an 8-year-old from South Whitehall Township took his love for the creatures to a new level.

Owen Oselkin wrote and published a book about them!

He had his first book signing at the Barnes and Noble in the Lehigh Valley Mall on Friday, for “Oh Dinosaur, Oh Dinosaur.” 

Owen tells us his book started as a song he created during Covid to stay busy, and then he decided to turn his work into a book. 

“Oh Dinosaur, Oh Dinosaur” explores the unthinkable ties between ancient dinosaurs and modern poultry. 

“I think it was fun and I think it was fun to make it,” said Owen. 

“We’re just so excited and the whole community has come and supported him which is wonderful,” said Amy Oselkin, Owen’s mom. 

Owen told us he’s already planning his next book, which will be about birds.
