This is the first book in a series of Eagle Books. By Georgia Perez. Illustrated by Patrick Rolo and Lisa A. Fifield.Origin and Purpose of the Eagle Book SeriesThe Eagle Book series grew out of a single book, Through the Eyes of the Eagle, that had been written by Nambe Pueblo’s Georgia Perez (Native American Diabetes Project, University of New Mexico) and woven through the curriculum of the “Strong in Body and Spirit” program in the late 1990s. Ms. Perez found that when children heard the story of the eagle, they listened intently. Afterward, they were eager to take the diabetes-prevention information back to their parents and grandparents to share what they had learned.The role of the eagle as “teacher” and the story’s success led to the creation of a series of children’s books whose purpose is to convey to children healthy ways of living. All of the stories reflect long-held values of American Indian / Alaska Native people – respect, gratitude, and generosity – while teaching the universal wisdom of healthy eating and physical activity. Throughout the series, a young Native boy and his friends learn about healthy habits from Mr. Eagle, Miss Rabbit, and Coyote.Vividly brought to life by the colorful illustrations of American Indian artists Patrick Rolo (Bad River Band, Ojibwe) and Lisa A. Fifield (Oneida Tribe of Wisconsin), these stories by Georgia Perez have become the award-winning Eagle Book series:Through the Eyes of the Eagle,Knees Lifted High,Plate Full of Color, andTricky Treats.Additional diabetes prevention books based on these characters for middle school children are also becoming available, starting with Coyote and the Turtle's Dream.The purpose of the Eagle Books is to help children understand several important messages about diabetes and being healthy:Many Americans, including Native peoples, no longer eat traditional diets or practice vigorous physical activity.Type 2 diabetes can be a consequence of this lifestyle change.Returning to healthy diet and physical activity can help prevent diabetes.Friends and families can help each other to prevent diabetes by eating healthy foods and staying active.Related Products:Living a Balanced Life With Diabetes: A Toolkit Addressing Psychosocial Issues for American Indian and Alaska Native Populations (Kit) can be found here: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/017-023-00226-1El Camino Hacia una Vida Saludable Basada en las Guias Alimenticias para los Estadounidenses = The Road to a Healthy Life Based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (Bilingual Spanish and English) can be found here: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/017-001-00564-9Let\'s Eat for the Health of It(Package of 100) can be found here: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/001-000-04750-7Deliciously Healthy Family Meals (Cookbook) can be found here: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/017-001-00572-0
