Hawk Mother Returns: A Story of Interspecies Adoption

(3) K-3 In this nonfiction picture-book sequel to Hawk Mother, red-tailed hawk Sunshine is unable to mate because she was shot, leaving her unable to fly. Coauthor Hagedorn, a zoologist, cares for the bird and brings her two fertile eggs. In clear language, she and Garnsworthy lay out how Sunshine mothers the hawk chicks from a competing hawk species. The book’s dynamic color photography enhances the story. A note about the birds is appended along with more information about hawks and a glossary.
