This high-quality children’s book details the annual transoceanic migration of the golden plover, which flies non-stop 6,000 or more miles between Alaska and Hawaii and other places in the South Pacific. Of special interest are the beautifully colored and detailed illustrations by Daniel Van Zyle, co-founder and past president of the Hawaii Wildlife Artists Society. Author Debbie Miller, who also wrote A Caribou Journey, includes fascinating details about this small, beautiful shorebird, contrasting its dramatically different habitats in Alaska and Hawaii.
