treat in the forest - honey. These are just some of the incredible
stories you'll read in this book. With fascinating factual detail
and playful storytelling from ornithologist Tim Birkhead and
vibrant, personality-filled illustrations from Cat Rayner, this

It’s April in Antarctica and, in places so remote that they can
only be seen by satellites, lines of Emperor Penguins appear in
search of the perfect ice for raising their chicks. A wise old
Empress has returned to the ice at Halley Bay year after year; with
the help of her mate, she works to protect her newly-laid egg
against the bitter winter. But a changing climate is making the
Antarctic Ocean warmer – winds are stronger and storms are
fiercer... With luminous illustrations and an introduction by
climate scientist Dr Phil Trathan, this is the true story of how
the Emperor penguin colony at Halley Bay was disrupted after the
sea ice collapsed, and how it’s necessary to protect the
environment so that these extraordinary survivors will continue to
be found in the Antarctic for generations to come. "Nicola Davies
is one of the best children's writers in the business." Huffington
Post
