Inspiring bald eagle books for all ages
 Elf the Eagle, written by Ron Smith and Illustrated by Ruth Campbell is a delightful children's book about a baby eagle who worries about many things, including the distance from his nest, high up in a tree, to the ground, way, way down below.
Elf is an inspiring story, told with gentle humor. It will delight children, who will relate to Elf's fears and will realize, as he does, that they too will grow into their wings and fly, when the time is right. |
 The Unstoppable Eagles, written by Terri Lhuillier and Joanne Brady with the beautiful illustrations done by Sarah Brady. We wrote a book about a pair of bald eagles who reside in the middle of our City. The eagles' nest was too close to a construction zone so the California Dept of Transportation put a large cone on top of their nest to get them to move away. The relentless eagles sat by their nest with the cone on top of it for 32 days before the cone was finally taken down! At one point, they even tried to build a new nest one tree over and Caltrans sent up a tree climber to take down those sticks, too! But, the eagles won the battle and went on to raise 2 chicks that year, and have brought 10 more eagles into the world since that date! It's a great story with a happy ending for everyone! |
