A STEM introduction to migration through one bird's quest to find its
winter home
When Sammy, a young Wilson's warbler, wakes up one frosty August morning
near the Arctic Circle, he instinctively knows that it's time to make
his first migratory journey south to Panama. But there's one problem --
where is Panama?
All the other warblers having left without him, Sammy sets off on the
journey by himself, stopping to ask the same question of each of the
different animals that he meets along the way: Is this Panama? From the
caribou heading to his winter forest to the monarch butterflies flitting
to Mexico, every animal has a different destination -- and different
advice for Sammy on how to find his way. Finally, a flock of his warbler
cousins shows Sammy that finding Panama is as easy as following the
stars.
Animal migration patterns and seasonal changes are on display throughout
this fascinating story, complemented by intricate paper collage,
watercolor, and pen-and-ink illustrations.
