A story about the parallel journeys of self-discovery undertaken by a boy and a young eagle

Your Song is a story about the parallel journeys of self-discovery undertaken by a boy and a young eagle. The eagle goes to the cheetah and the fox, looking for hints and tips about what his song is - his talent, his abilities, and his purpose in life. Yet none of the other animals' suggestions seems to fit. At last father eagle teaches his son, "Their beliefs about what you can do are right only if you believe they are. If you believe you cannot do something, then you can't. If you believe in your heart anything is possible, that too will be true." As the young eagle discovers his own talents and learns to fly, the young boy gains a valuable lesson. The bright, cartoon-quality illustrations bring this motivational fable to life. A follow up page of discussion seeds wraps up Your Song, a story about engaging limitless horizons.

Best children's author since C.S. Lewis

This book is a magnificent tool for parent and child. It encourages dialogue, self-esteem and decision making. Mark Hoog has done and excellent job with his use of words and images. The illistrations are brilliant and children and adults will have a wonderful time finding fascinating and amusing objects. This is a sweet story of a fledgling finding his way and I highly recommend it for children of all ages.
