Inhaltsangabe

What happens when young Elf the Eagle wants to know all there is to know about where he has come from? What happens when his curiosity about his family tree summons a Spirit Bird? Share his adventures as he tumbles through her left eye and journeys to the World of Before. Share his surprise and wonder when he discovers his ancient ancestors turn out to be toothy Dinosaurs! Share his sense of belonging when he returns to the World of Now.

Elf's Family Tree is a sequel to Elf the Eagle, which was shortlisted for the B.C. Book Prizes in 2008 and the Shining Willow Award, Saskatchewan, in 2009.

Ron Smith's homage to the eagle provides a historical record of its origin in prehistoric times to its importance as a cultural icon. But Elf is primarily a story of a young eaglet's response to the ever-changing world about him. This journey to self-recognition is magnificently illustrated by Ruth Campbell who provides a devastatingly accurate portrayal of Elf's relatives alongside snapshots of some of birdland's most beautiful creatures (look for the hoatzin, birdland comic prince). We last see Elf on a totem pole --- his voyage complete, celebrating the beauty of the world about him --- a world the reader will also come to celebrate. ---John Kieran Kealy, ridiculously avid birder, Hoatzin admirer and former teacher of Children's Literatures at UBC for over thirty years
