Abstract

"Long ago, when a great flood cleansed the land of unhappiness, the Grandfather sent Wanjblí the eagle to save one virtuous member of the human race and teach her how to live a good life. The eagle is a powerful symbol of courage, wisdom, and strength. It is known in indigenous cultures as the connection between the Spirit World and the Earth. In his first book, Kevin shares the traditional story about how the eagle came as a messenger to guide humankind. He shares an inspiring vision of unity and hope for a new generation teaching children to recognize the eagle in themselves and others and always to soar above the darkness into the light."--Back cover.
