In an infinity of sky, tiny godwit birds follow ancient, invisible migratory pathways, flying on and on for nine nights and nine days, flying without rest... This is their story. From the creator of the critically acclaimed Where the Forest Meets the Sea and Mirror, comes a poetic, eco-conscious picture book which explores the complex, interdependency of nature. This is the story of the little-known Bar-tailed Godwit who, following invisible pathways that have been used for thousands of years, undertakes the longest unbroken migration of any bird, a total of 11,000 kilometres, flying from their breeding grounds in Alaska across the Pacific Ocean to Australia or New Zealand. Facing hunger and treacherous conditions to reach their destination, their flight is one of bravery, tenacity and strength, and Jeannie's stunning mixed media collages, inspired first-hand by the spectacular landscapes of Alaska and China, will amaze readers, and take them on an extraordinary visual journey to the corners of our Earth.

Recensione:
A lovely and lyrical ode to the migration of the godwits...Inviting and informative with multiple story levels, this title belongs in every collection. --School Library Journal (starred review)
In her examination of the life of this globe-circling bird, which belongs to the sandpiper family, the artist s minutely constructed collage spreads look tranquil when viewed from afar but teem with life close up...It s hard to imagine a more powerful treatment of migration: Baker conveys the strength of the birds and the fragility of their habitat with equal care. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
A visually striking account of godwit migration pair it with Sandra Markle's similar but more concrete The Long, Long Journey (2013), illustrated by Mia Posada. --Kirkus Reviews
