Beauty and the Beak: How Science, Technology, and a 3D-Printed Beak Rescued a Bald Eagle



3D Printing never ceases to amaze!  When I read the title, I was all in.  I wanted to know why and how Beauty came to have a 3D Printed beak.  Much like the story of Winter the dolphin with the prosthetic tail, Beauty was injured in nature and brought to a wildlife rehabilitation center.  I don’t want to give too much away as I’m sure other readers will want to find out more for themselves too.  Jane Veltkamp brings her own expertise and experience to the storytelling as a raptor ….  Decisions pertaining to book design have the photos and text laid out in such a way that the reader can follow along with Beauty’s journey to health.  I appreciate that Deborah Lee Rose includes more information about eagles, their endangered status and what young people can do to help.  There are several resources included to learn more as well.
