Aisholpan always had a connection to her father's eagle. Ever since she was a girl she'd heard stories of her ancestors' famed skill with eagles and she was proud to continue the nomadic traditions of her people. But she never could have anticipated the consequences of learning this traditionally male sport herself. From her first hunt to competing on a national stage to winning international fame through a documentary depicting her journey Aisholpan takes us behind the scenes to learn about her life and her journey.
I loved learning about Aisholpan's way of life and the changes that came with her unexpected fame. If you enjoy learning about other cultures or stories about human animal connection then this is a great choice for you!
