A passionate nature lover and a renowned artist trace the
awe-inspiring spring migration of millions of creatures to the
Arctic--the greatest journey on Earth.
At the top of our world is a huge wild place called the Arctic.
In the winter, it is a cold and barren land, where few animals can
survive. But when spring comes, it brings with it animals from
every corner of the earth. Gray whales, white cranes, wolves, and
caribou begin their migrations as the snow melts, gradually making
the long journey north. Once they reach their destination, they
will raise their young, feast on the lush Arctic tundra, and bask
in the sunlight that lasts all summer. Still, this season too must
pass, and by the time winter grips the Arctic once again, the
visitors have gone--only to return the following year. This lushly
illustrated picture book celebrates the cyclical nature of the
seasons, showcasing the barren and beautiful landscapes of the
Arctic Circle and reminding the reader of the hardships and harmony
of life in the wild.
A passionate nature lover and a renowned artist trace the
awe-inspiring spring migration of millions of creatures to the
Arctic - the greatest journey on Earth. This is a book full of
creatures: birds, fish and mammals. They are all embarking on one
long, intense journey that will take them across oceans and
continents, for thousands of miles - braving predators, starvation
and extreme weather conditions - to reach the very top of the
world. Each spring, animals migrate north to spend their summer in
the snow-melt Arctic. In this season, the sun rarely sets and so
millions of animals - of over 200 species - are drawn by the rich
food sources and safe breeding grounds. This adventure is the
largest, most extraordinary migration in nature; it is beautifully
captured in Nick Dowson's lyrical narrative and Patrick Benson's
stunning illustrations.
