Review Detail

Eyes-of-a-Hawk is a very special 12-year-old brave. After saving the village from an enemy attack, Eyes-of-a-Hawk was blessed with two feathers for his headband by his father. Now, many years later, his father has died, and his two beautiful feathers are Eyes-of-a-Hawks only reminder of his father.

When the wind suddenly snatches away one of the feathers during a windstorm, Eyes-of-a-Hawk is convinced that the village will no longer think he is brave. Even worse, his fathers spirit will be ashamed of the loss and his son. Helped by his mother and animal friends along the way, Eyes-of-a-Hawk learns an important lesson about self-worth.

A quick and vibrant read for children, this story will transport readers back to the American West. Filled with colorful and unique illustrations, and with a great message, this is a great first work from the author (whos a chemist-turned-writer!). Recommended for ages 6 and up.
