Starting from the same locale, a butterfly, eel, and bird each proceeds with its own life cycle and annual migration. Expansive double-page watercolor paintings depict the creatures' habitats, and a map shows the separate pathways of their journeys south. The text is spare and concise. Two pages of "real facts" at story's end expand on the natural history of the three animals.
