A short-tailed shearwater flies from the edge of the Southern Ocean to
the rim of the Arctic Circle - and back - every year. This remarkable
30,000 kilometre journey is driven by seabird law.
Instinct and community will guide her.
A wingspan the size of a child's outstretched arms will support her.
But first, she must catch the wind ...
Based on birds that live on Griffiths Island, near Port Fairy, Victoria,
Windcatcher is a tale of migration, conservation and survival that
begins with one small bird called Hope.
Written by award-winning children's author Diane Jackson Hill and
illustrated by Craig Smith, one of Australia's most prolific and popular
illustrators, Windcatcher explores the mysteries of seabird migration.
For primary aged readers.
