Named an "Outstanding Science Trade Book for Students K-12" by the National Science Teachers Association and Children's Book Council. Selected by the Junior Library Guild.
What happens when two baby chickens find themselves in a nest with a hawk? Don’t hawks usually eat chickens? Sunshine, a red-tailed hawk, can no longer fly free. But her instinct to be a mother is so strong that she builds a nest in her aviary every spring and lays two infertile eggs. One year, Kara, her caretaker, decides to try something different. She gives Sunshine two chicken eggs.
Join zoologist Kara Hagedorn and Sunshine to find out what happens in this delightful story of interspecies cooperation.
