Migration/ Nature reserves/ Wheelchairs
A small boy in a wheelchair (we feel only
temporarily) looks from the edge of the sea in a nature reserve (in Australia?) as the godwits
rise into the air to begin their annual migration to Alaska. There is little in the text to inform us about this amazing journey and New Zealand, a major player, doesn’t get a look-in although a good map and links to
websites are included. However, with the beauty of illustration teamed with a
knowledgeable teacher or other adult, the book will open many windows (and
doors) to this epic flight.
