Children's Book About Eagle with 3D Printed Beak

A female American bald eagle received a new 3D printed prosthetic beak after she was found in Alaska with a missing upper beak. The eagle's name is Beauty, and she is the subject of a new nonfiction children's book, aptly titled Beauty and the Beak: How Science, Technology and a 3D-Printed Beak Rescued a Bald Eagle. The book was co-written by children's author Deborah Lee Rose and raptor biologist Jane Veltkamp, the director of an Idaho non-profit organization called Birds of Prey NW and the leader of the 3D printed beak engineering team. The book also comes with a free educational guide, complete with key words, like 'prosthetic,' 'conservation,' and 'raptor,' for young students to study, an explanation of what Common Core Standards the book works for, engaging questions, and links to STEM activities, such as downloading a bald eagle coloring page and making a model of Beauty's beak out of a paper cup.
