A Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year "Gorgeous paintings fill the pages, lending mood, light, and information. . . . Unusual in its narration from the wild animal's point of view, this is an important and dramatic tale that should be widely shared with children." - School Library Journal * "Based on a true story and told in unemotional prose illustrated with beautiful, airy acrylic paintings, this will instill appreciation for the beauty of birds of prey and their role in nature." - Kirkus Reviews , starred review " Arrowhawk is a dramatic, painful tale of nature with a fortunate upbeat ending." - Sacramento Bee "Swiatkowska's rich acrylics have beautiful soft edges and fine detail." - Booklist "Schaefer does this the hard and admirable way.

Synopsis
Familiar hands tossed him gently into the winter air. Hawk flapped his wings and skimmed the earth. Then he beat his wings harder, rose, and flew over the trees. And straight as an arrow, Hawk soared into the wild. The story of an injured red-tailed hawk's survival and freedom A hungry red-tailed hawk sits near a fence post and devours his catch. Out of nowhere a poacher's arrow pierces his body, seriously injuring him and leaving him to fend for himself. This is the courageous true story of Arrowhawk-an endangered bird of prey who, with sheer determination and will, survives eight weeks in the wild with a poacher's arrow through his thigh and tail. Stunning illustrations capture his remarkable journey from peril and rescue to eventual freedom. Arrowhawk is a 2005 Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year.
