The longest journey : an Arctic tern's migration / Amy Hevron. - First edition. - New York, New York : Holiday House, (c)2022. - 1 volume (unpaged) : illustrations, maps ; 29 cm
A Neal Porter book.
Includes bibliographical references.
In their thirty-year lifetimes, Arctic Terns travel nearly 1.5 million miles, that's enough to fly to the Moon and back three times! Each year they brave blistering winds, storms, rough seas, and airborne predators as they travel between the Earth's poles, chasing the summer. In The Longest Journey: An Arctic Tern's Migration, we follow one such bird as it spreads its wings and sets out to make its first globe-spanning trip with its flock. Amy Hevron is the illustrator of Trevor by Jim Averbeck, the recipient of multiple starred reviews. She also illustrated Candace Fleming's The Tide Pool Waits which was the recipient of the Portfolio Honor Award from the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. Her brilliant, naturalistic artwork mimicking maps and nautical charts is supported by extensive research and paired with material at the back of the book explaining the science behind the life cycle of Arctic Terns. https://www.amazon.com/Longest-Journey-Arctic-Terns-Migration/dp/0823447006/ref=sr_1_1?crid=11WIHBM4Q3FQA&keywords=the+longest+journey&qid=1685980060&sprefix=the+longest+journey%2Caps%2C88&sr=8-1
