Building a Beak: How a Toucan''s Rescue Inspired the World

English

By (author): Becca McMurdie

Illustrated by: Diana Hernández

In the wild, Grecia the toucan loved to soar from branch to branch and sing for all the creatures of the rainforest. Until, one night, loud voices echoed through the trees, sticks and rocks flew, and Grecia fell from her favourite avocado tree, tragically breaking her beak. She was unable to move. Unable to sing. Animal rescuers examined Grecia and found that she needed a new beak to survive. Though no one had ever made a toucan beak before, Grecias determination to live drove their search for a creative solution - an innovative 3D-printed beak. As news of her story spread, people of all ages around the world came together, finding their own ways to help Grecia sing again. While witnessing Grecias determined spirit, readers will learn how this single plucky toucan became a symbol for the international wildlife protection movement and inspired real change in anti-animal cruelty law, saving countless animals from harm. Perfect for the young activist, engineer, or animal lover, Grecias triumphant true story will resonate with readers of all ages, showing how determination and teamwork can make an impact and create lasting change.
