The remarkable story of the golden plover's annual migration, this beautifully illustrated nature title for young readers sees the small but mighty
plover embark on a six-thousand-mile flight between the frozen Alaska tundra and the gentle, grassy slopes of the Hawaiian Islands. Equally at home in
its two very different habitats, the once-endangered golden plover has evolved many behaviors and adaptations that make it perfectly well-suited to
each of its homes, and this book contains many fascinating facts about them. Readers are also introduced to the plover's neighbors and friends - from
the giant Hawaiian goose, or nene, to the musk ox, grizzly bear, arctic fox, and sandhill crane.
