About
An Arctic tern can fly as many as 50,000 miles in its annual migration, and as this bird chases summer across the hemispheres, it sees more sunlight than any other living thing. In this luminous 2024 Riverby Award-winning celebration of such astonishing aerial feats, author and visual artist Timothy Musso charts the migratory path of an Arctic tern family. Intricately designed woodcut illustrations propel the reader along as a partner on a most incredible journey. Back matter expands on the poetic text with additional details about the Arctic tern and other animals. A year in the life of a female Arctic tern, illustrated by woodcut prints, spans thousands of miles and covers the globe as she feeds, mates, and migrates with her family.
