About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts noticing the world above them and asks questions about the hawks circling the highway or the owls they hear at night. It is a perfect choice for kids who are moving past simple animal picture books and crave detailed, realistic information about how nature actually works. Through stunning, life-sized acrylic illustrations and expansive fold-out pages, Jim Arnosky invites children to appreciate the raw power and beauty of birds of prey without leaning into sensationalism. While it explores the mechanics of hunting, the tone remains one of quiet reverence and scientific curiosity. It is an ideal bridge for elementary-aged children to develop a deeper sense of environmental stewardship and artistic appreciation. Parents will value how the book encourages outdoor observation and patience, turning a simple walk in the park into a potential wildlife expedition.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is secular and scientific. It deals directly with predation. It describes how birds catch and eat prey, but the approach is biological rather than gory. There is no moral judgment passed on the hunters; it is presented as a necessary part of the ecosystem.
