A bald eagle soaring through the sky is a symbol of freedom. But how was this animal chosen as the U.S. national bird? And what does it do that reminds Americans of their strength and independence? Simple, age-appropriate text introduces young readers to this key national symbol and explains its origin as a symbol and why it is important today.
