Becca McMurdie’s BUILDING A BEAK: HOW A TOUCAN’S RESCUE INSPIRED THE WORLD is a nonfiction that offers a new vantage point when technology, nature and out of the box thinking unite in a real world example. When Grecia, a Costa Rican bird with a broken bill, can neither sing, eat, bathe or balance, an engineer with a 3D printer creates a bill to help the caring veterinarian replace the damaged beak. As so often happens, one remarkable, unusual decision makes for more difference. Because of Grecia, the Costa Rican president passed a new law making it illegal to harm wildlife. Illustrator Diana Hernandez uses a dynamic illustrative style to picture Grecia, her Costa Rican home and the technology that changed her life.
