This majestic picture book tells the story of the American Bald Eagle as it faced extinction and was brought back to stronger numbers by the care of wildlife experts and concerned citizens.  This book focuses on one concerned boy, who helped a ranger to pair up an eagle egg with a pair of bald eagles whose eggs were weak and broken due to DDT exposure.  The eagles adopted the egg and with time, the eagle population great larger.  In the end, that boy was a father, telling the story to his own son.  The illustrations are realistic and beautifully painted in watercolor.
