In Swoop and Soar's inspiring true story, children (and adults) will discover how science gave two real young ospreys a second chance for life in the wild. Through fascinating wild bird photos and STEM-rich text, readers can see closeup how the chicks grow and survive in the nest. How do their parents provide food for them and protect them from hungry predators like owls? How do Swoop and Soar take their first flights? How do they dive and crash underwater to catch fish, their only food?
