I think this is inspiring because you are an eagle and they can't take away the hunger to be an eagle that's inside you no matter how much they tell you you're a chicken but at the same time weirdly essentialist and tough luck on the chickens, who ain't no fuckin' eagles.

This book is about chasing your dreams. Being an eagle, not a chicken.

This is a simple story that is encouraging to people to "soar" and reach their calling and potential. The illustrations are watercolor, simple, and calming. The main characters facial expressions are dynamic and add a lot to the written story on each page.
