Illustrated by
Brian Floca.
A red-tailed hawk hunts as its chicks wait in a cedar tree and two human children observe from their house and backyard. Realistic ink and watercolor illustrations accompany a sensory, poetic text, setting the suburban scene and offering a dynamic, naturalistic depiction of the predator's behavior. Perspectives and colors shift, presenting breathtaking bird's- and child's-eye views of sunrises, sunsets, prey, the neighborhood, and more. Reading list, websites.
