Jane Goodall retells a beloved story from her own childhood--a
fable that illustrates how we depend on each other for help and
support throughout our lives When the birds of the world squabble
about who can fly the highest, the owl devises a contest to settle
the question. As one by one various contestants drop out, only the
eagle remains, soaring high above the earth. However, the wren,
stowed away in the eagle's feathers, suddenly appears and uses him
as a launching pad to fly even higher. When they arrive back on the
ground, the owl drives home the story's moral of togetherness and
teamwork. Goodall continues the theme in an afterword, explaining
how "we all need an eagle" and sharing insights on those who have
played that role in her own life. Reichstein's illustrations of the
winged creatures are meticulously crafted, and the timeless,
sweeping expanse of blue sky along with the heavenwards-slanted
text creates a soft visual echo of the story's soaring motif.
