Home at Last: A Song of Migration

Home at Last: A Song of Migration by Sayre, April Pulley. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780805051544.

Some animals have only one home. They may travel just a few inches, yards, or miles from that spot. But others migrate great distances. They spend part of their time in one home and part of it in another. On the journey in between, they may swim, crawl, fly, or walk a mile, a thousand miles, or even halfway around the earth. April Pulley Sayres lyrical text conveys the wonder that surrounds the mystery of migration. She writes about a variety of animals, from monarch butterflies to blue whales. With exquisite detail, the graceful illustrations by Alix Berenzy depict the animals on their journeys, and the books last pages provide factual information about each animals life and habits.
