A Warbler's Journey

A spectacularly illustrated, factually accurate story of a tiny yellow warbler's migration journey as she flies thousands of miles to reach her mate. In her dazzling oil paintings, Nancy Lane creates stunning landscapes and people that illuminate Pulitzer-prize finalist Scott Weidensaul's poetic and detailed description of the warbler's perilous journey from the tropics of Central America to the Canadian tundra. Together, they engage the reader's interest in a story that conveys a deep sense of the wonder and the danger of the migration journey. Children will also discover how they can help birds like our yellow warbler by seeing how three different children and families help her along the way: a Nicaraguan family who know the bird as reinita amarilla and 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 migrating birds, and a family from The Lutsël K'é Dene First Nation in Canada who have preserved land for all animals.
