As a reader I found this book confusing at first, but after reading it a second time it became more clear. The illustrations in this picture book are amazing and really help to tell the story since there aren't as many words. I really enjoyed the message in this book about how persistence can get you where you want to be.
As a teacher I would use this book as a read aloud book. Since it is about an eagle, it could be tied into a social studies lesson. This book would also be a good lesson on persistence. The eagle doesn't learn to fly the first time it tries, it takes a few trys and a lot of persistence for the eagle to fly. This can help teach students that not everything will come easily to them, but if they keep trying they will eventually reach their goals.
