About the Author
JOAN HARRIS lives in Eagle River, Alaska, with her husband, Tom, two pugs, and a cattle dog. By day, she is a counselor in the Army Education Center at Fort Richardson, and by night, an artist with a passion for drawing birds. She has a degree in art education from the University of Southern Colorado, and has worked in adult education for the past twelve years.
Reviews
Grade 7 Up-A series of vignettes centered on a baker's dozen of birds passing through or becoming residents at the Bird Treatment and Learning Center (TLC) in Anchorage, AK. As an artist, Harris began by studying, photographing, and drawing the creatures for a planned series of scientific illustrations. That project grew into her own involvement with TLC and this book, a tribute to the birds, the volunteers, and the medical staff of the center. Each bird's story of its arrival, stay, and/or departure from TLC is accompanied by a small list of vital statistics of its species and a lovely, accurate drawing in pencil and painted with pastel dust. The "gift" of One Wing, a severely disabled bald eagle, was the gift of life itself. He was the principal blood donor for other eagles sickened by the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Prince William Sound. The book closes on an upbeat note-the release of nine of these magnificent raptors back into the wild. Attractive in and of itself with its graceful illustrations, elegant font, and artistic layout, One Wing's Gift will appeal to older readers, some of whom may be moved to invest time and energy in other such wildlife-rescue programs.
