A hawk in a tree, a farmer in a kilt, and a coo who’s telling it all—welcome back to Hays Manor! Lost Hawk is the latest laugh-out-loud adventure in the Alana Faye at Hays Manor series, a beautifully illustrated, rhyming picture book perfect for children ages 3–7. Told through the eyes of Alana Faye’, a shaggy and curious Highland calf, this true farm tale follows the day everything at Hays Manor went a little sideways. During falconry display, Duke—Sarah's red-tailed hawk—flies off Clyde’s glove and into a tree... and stays there. Despite Clyde’s best snacks, tricks, and “please come down” faces, Duke refuses to budge. While Clyde struggles to win back Sarah's' feathery friend, Sarah stays calm, Wyatt tries to help, and Alana (naturally) watches it all unfold with wide-eyed wonder and some gentle mooing. With themes of responsibility, letting go, and the unpredictable nature of working with animals, this story blends gentle humor with real-life farm lessons that young readers (and their grown-ups) will love.
