The Reluctant Eagle : Taylor and Seale Publishers : 9781943789412 : 194378941X : 29 Oct 2016 : Michael is a beautiful juvenile American Bald Eagle. He is certain that he doesn't want to leave his cliff-top nest and fly. Despite encouragement from his family and friends, he is too afraid of heights to try. It's not until real danger comes to the eagles that Michael finally flies and learns that being an eagle is a pretty cool thing. A delightful story, the second in the series of "I Can Do It" books which inspire confidence in children who might be afraid to face a challenge. It is also instructional, informing children about eagles, hawks, and owls in an easily understandable, interesting way. An endearing story children will love to listen to or read.
