The Eagle Book Series Click to close info display

The Eagle Book Series

The Eagle Books are a series of four books that are brought to life by wise animal characters - Mr. Eagle and Miss Rabbit - who engage Rain That Dances and his young friends in the joy of physical activity, eating healthy foods, and learning from their elders about health and diabetes prevention.

The first book, Through the Eyes of the Eagle, introduces the characters Mr. Eagle and Rain That Dances, the boy he befriends. Mr. Eagle reminds the young boy of the healthy ways of his elders.

The second book, Knees Lifted High, has Rain That Dances introducing his best friend, Thunder Cloud, to Mr. Eagle, who encourages the boys to be physically active every day.

The third book, A Plateful of Color, introduces Miss Rabbit and the boys' friends, Little Hummingbird and Simon. Miss Rabbit teaches the value of eating a variety of colorful and healthy foods.

Tricky Treats, the final book in the series, introduces the character of Coyote, a trickster. Coyote is unable to trick the children into choosing unhealthy foods to eat.

A teacher's guide entitled The Eagle Book Series: A Guide for Educators and Communities is available. For information and a copy of the guide, please contact Christine Battle at [770] 488-5308.
