Reach for this book when your child starts asking the 'tough' questions about how the natural world works, or when they express a budding interest in the animals living right in their own backyard. It serves as a gentle but honest bridge between a child's love for animals and the realistic cycle of nature, focusing on a father hawk's dedication to providing for his growing family. The story follows a red-tailed hawk through a single day of hunting in a suburban setting. While it captures the 'fierceness' of a predator, it is deeply rooted in themes of family care and resilience. It is an ideal choice for parents who want to foster a sense of wonder and scientific curiosity without shielding children from the realities of the food chain, all while emphasizing the bond between a father and his young.
