Kristine Goodan lives on Samish Island, Washington and has watched eagles return in strong numbers to the island. In this story, she recounts the seasonal cycle from May until August, when the eaglets appear in the nest, to their fledging, and then their flying away. This book is intended to be cherished and read by a parent or another adult to a child between four and eight years old. Thaïs Armstrong is an artist who also lives on Samish Island. She and her husband Howard are serious birders as well.
