Kiwi Magazine Review:
Ed Young’s rich illustrations make this book more of a work of art than a child’s picture book. The text does not disappoint, either. The story of the eagle egg which a young boy finds and places with the chicken is a wonderful metaphor for children — you have all of the skills and power within yourself to achieve your goals.

Product Description
A young eagle learns to soar in Caldecott-winner Ed Young’s newest work.

With beautiful, sweeping artwork and spare, lyrical text, Ed Young tells the story of a boy who finds an egg and gives it to a flock of chickens. When the egg hatches not a chick but an eaglet, the hens, the roosters, and the boy all band together to help the young bird fly. In this lovely story about friendship and dedication, the eaglet perseveres and leaves behind the dusty earth for endless pastel skies.
