Biografía breve
[from Exploratorium website]
Twin themes of nature and narrative run through Eileen's work. Growing up, she spent much of her time outside but also read voraciously. She studied zoology and marine biology, then attended the Science Communication program at UC Santa Cruz. As a science writer, she has worked extensively with museums, connecting people to the world around them via exhibits and other media. On staff for 10 years at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, her projects included the world's first major jellyfish exhibit (Planet of the Jellies) and the aquarium's new wing. Since then she has developed ways for people to engage with animals (Lemur Forest at the San Francisco Zoo), explore wine country geography (a book, Carneros: Travels Along the Edge), and understand evolution via story (NSF-funded exhibit Charlie and Kiwi: an Evolutionary Adventure and resultant book), among many other projects. She joined the Exploratorium before its 2013 move to Piers 15/17 to work on outdoor installations with the Studio for Public Spaces.

This book was about a little boy who had to write a paper about a bird. He choose a different bird, a Kiwi. The class laughed because Charlie picked a Kiwi and he didn't fly. So Charlie went back in time to learn about the ancestors of a Kiwi. He concluded that dinosaurs were the first birds and all the other birds have evolved from them.

This book is a great way to introduce the concept of evolution to children. One reason being that the main character, Charlie, starts the story with no understanding of the theory of evolution. As the story progresses to the end, Charlie has gained a thorough idea of what evolution is. Charlie achieves this accomplishment by discovering that his stuffed animal kiwi bird is actually alive and possesses a time machine. Charlie and Kiwi quickly meet his very old uncle named Charles, who is obviously supposed to represent Charles Darwin. All together, Charles, Charlie, and Kiwi travel through time to discover that birds came from dinosaurs, and Kiwi bird's evolved into their current traits to adapt to their environment. Apart from all the valuable educational knowledge this book has to offer, I really enjoyed seeing Charlie's arc of gaining confidence to explain his research. Charlie feared being misunderstood for his decision to research the Kiwi bird, but after determination and hard work, he was able to help people understand why his decision was so important.… (más)

This book teaches evolution. It goes through the process of birds evolving. This is not the most interesting books to me but, it does the job of teaching evolution.

Charlie befriends a bird that can't fly. He learns what evolution is and how it works. This would be a good book to use when teaching the subject of evolution to a young audience. They might not be able to understand or say the world but might understand some parts of the concept.
