This could also be integrated into the classroom using the parable as a lesson topic--teaching bigger-picture concepts about self-worth, self-esteem, and environment. The multitalented Daly (A Song for Jamela) does a commendable job of portraying a house full of love—and way too much physical affection. The song came back into light in 1997, when Bobby Mansure, founder of an unofficial Eagles pep band, asked team management to allow the band to play in the parking lot during home games. This simply told yet dramatic story from Africa will delight children everywhere and encourage them to 'lift off and soar'. we should all be so lucky to allow the message of this book to seep into our understanding of our spirits.

When a farmer finds a baby eagle that has been blown from its nest, he takes it home and raises it with his chickens. Wolman was a sports fan growing up and loved hearing the Washington Redskins' fight song " Hail to the Redskins" at games. Settings are well drawn, and the language of the text offers young readers a good model for their own narrative writing. Although it may take some a while to catch on to the metaphor, this beautifully-illustrated story will inspire children to spread their wings and fly rather than settle for scratching with the chickens in the dirt. Students will watch as the baby eagle becomes a chicken, and then attempts to become an eagle once again.The metaphor, though; if we're to identify with the eagle, that makes the farmer a horribly abusive kidnapper, and i feel like he was glossed as kindly and none of this is computing at all. The eagle, easily influenced by its surroundings, does what the other chickens do: clucks, pecks and does everything else the chickens do. The song lost its popularity in the early 1990s and in an attempt to bring it back, Eagles management changed its musical key and renamed it “Fly, Eagles Fly. So the Farmer’s friend decides to take the Eagle back to its original place and encourages the Eagle to spread his wings and fly into sky where he belongs.

With the patience of both main characters, the eagle is given the opportunity to become what it is meant to be.The song is also played in Philadelphia International Airport during the NFL season once every hour.
