Fly, Eagle, Fly! An African Tale

Product Information

The Eagles fared better during their 1999 season, and subsequently, the fight song was played after every score. Although it may take some a while to catch on to the metaphor, this beautifully-illustrated story will inspire children to spread their wings and fly rather than settle for scratching with the chickens in the dirt.

With the patience of both main characters, the eagle is given the opportunity to become what it is meant to be. Despite numerous attempts to make the eagle fly by the townspeople, it never flies from the chicken coop.There he discovered the story of Fly, Eagle, Fly in the biography of Aggrey of Africa, who visited West and Southern Africa in the 1920s from his teaching post in North America.

This simply told yet dramatic story from Africa will delight children everywhere and encourage them to 'lift off and soar'. I personally feel as though this book presents a great african story that can be told to children with a strong message behind it. How the farmer's friend proves that the bird is an eagle and destined to fly to the sun, is humorously retold by Christopher Gregorowski.

Knowing no other life, the eagle clucks, pecks and stays on the ground just like the chickens, until a visitor to the village tries to set things right. An African man discovers an abandoned, newly hatched eaglet and brings it back to his village, where he raises it among the chickens.
