"This inspiring story of the near-demise and dramatic comeback of the American bald eagle proves that anyone--even a child--can contribute to miracles. The bald eagle may be a treasured national bird, but for years it was in danger of becoming extinct. By the 1950s only 450 pairs of bald eagles remained in the United States. Healthy eagle eggs were brought in from Alaska in hopes that the existing eagle couples would raise them as their own. This is the tale of one of those eggs, and of the baby eaglet that hatched and thrived despite so many odds. Nurtured by his adoptive eagle parents--and by a young boy with lots of compassion--the bird that grew helped in the restoration of the American bald eagle. Featuring magnificently detailed paintings from landscape-artist Wendell Minor, Jean Craighead George's moving text will motivate readers of all ages to care for the environment and for the many creatures that inhabit it"--Jacket flap.
