A Warbler's Journey

With poetic language and lush oil paintings, children will cheer on the tiny but mighty yellow warbler as she makes her perilous migration journey from the tropics of Central America to the Canadian tundra.

The warbler is helped along the way by three
different children and families: a Nicaraguan family whose traditional shade coffee farm sustains migrant birds, an African-American family that creates a
garden in their backyard on the gulf coast to provide food for her, and a
family from The Lutsël K'é Dene First Nation in Canada who have preserved land
for all animals."With its engaging story and richly detailed illustrations of one yellow warbler's epic spring migration, this book is sure to inspire and inform readers of all ages." -- David Sibley, author of The Sibley Guide to Birds, What it Means to be a Bird, and many others.
