THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON SOLD IN 10 LANGUAGES – FROM AWARD-WINNING ILLUSTRATOR JENNI DESMOND AND UK TRAVEL WRITER OF THE YEAR MIKE UNWIN
Brrrr! It's the middle of the Antarctic. All you can see for miles is ice. But look closer. A line of figures is trooping over the frozen terrain. From a distance they look like people. But soon you can see that they're penguins, each follows the one in front.
Follow the amazing migrations of 20 creatures in this spectacular book: trek across South Africa with gigantic elephants, scour Christmas Island and find a million red crabs, and observe a cloud of fruit bats as they take to the midnight sky over Kasanka Forest. Travel around the globe with some of the world's most incredible animals and discover their unique migration stories.
Written by Mike Unwin, a UK Travel Writer of the Year, and illustrated by Jenni Desmond, winner of the New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book, prepare yourself for a journey like no other.

The Guardian
The duo behind [Migration] ... know just how to make children's precious imaginations soar.
The Observer
This non-fiction picture book is a beautifully illustrated, fact-filled goldmine.
Children's Book and Media Review
Each double-page spread summons an outstanding example of migration. We've seen many of them before, such as the epic flights of arctic terns and wandering albatross, but others are less well known.
Redeemed Reader
Desmond's art, created with watercolor, acrylic, ink, pencil, and pencil crayon, incorporates a paragraph of additional information about each species. It is her images that make this oversize album stand out.
