Based on the true story of a red-tailed hawk that nests on the ledge of a building on New Yorks Fifth Avenue, this picture book brings to life a tale of family, perseverance, and big-city living. A portion of the proceeds of this title will be donated by the publisher to New York City Audubon. Full color.


From the publisher

There's a hawk in the city! New York City is known for its sky-scrapers, subways, and hustle and bustle -- not for its wildlife. So everyone is surprised when a red-tailed hawk is spotted flying over Fifth Avenue, and even more surprised when he decides to settle down on the ledge of one of the Big Apple's swankiest apartment buildings. The hawk soon draws many admirers. They name him Pale Male and watch as he builds his nest, finds a mate, and teaches his little hawk babies to fly. Based on the true story of Pale Male, City Hawk brings New York City's favorite hawk to life in a story of family, perseverance, and big-city living.
