The CBCA judges say...

Another beautifully illustrated, researched and presented book of the standard we have come to expect from Jennifer Cossins. Commencing with the stylish stencilled endpapers and with contextual information provided by the introduction, the readers are taken on a migratory journey of the trials and tribulations of 25 animal movements around the globe. The introduction provides excellent context, and the conclusion highlights the importance of conservation and the impact of climate change on migration journeys. The design and layout are consistent, with a double-page spread dedicated to each animal’s journey and variety provided in style and colour palette of the exquisite accompanying illustrations.
