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.
