'This is a profound story, beautifully told.' -- Child Education / Junior Education Best Books Supplement, October 2001
From the Author
I wish to introduce 'Fly, Eagle, Fly' to our readers
I offer 'Fly, Eagle, Fly' to the children of our world as a message of hope at the start of this new millennium. The foreword is by my former Archbishop Desmond Tutu, under whose leadership I was privileged to serve for a number of years. I hope readers of all ages will be inspired to live our lives to our full human potential, created as we are in the image of God.

Fly Eagle Fly
Seller: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Good. Daly, Niki (illustrator). After a stormy night, a farmer, searching for his lost calf, finds a baby eagle that has been blown out of its nest. He takes it home and raises it with his chickens. When a friend comes to visit one day, he tells the farmer that an eagle should be flying high in the sky, not staying on the ground. But this eagle walks like a chicken, eats like a chicken, even thinks like a chicken, the farmer replies. Twice, the farmer's friend tries to get the eagle to fly, but it sees the chickens on the ground and drops down each time. At last the friend, followed by the farmer, carries the young eagle back into the mountains and places the great bird on a rocky ledge, just before sunrise. As the air is filled with golden light and the sun appears, the friend cries, Fly, Eagle, fly and the eagle raises its wings and soars upward, out of sight. This simply told yet dramatic story from Africa will delight children everywhere and encourage them to lift off and soar, as Archbishop Tutu puts it in his foreword. In lovely, expressive paintings of great beauty, sparked with touches of humor, Niki Daly, an internationally known artist, catches the essence of this powerful tale. Seller Inventory # 00108793098
