Stunning collage constructions depict the circular and lengthy migration of bar-tailed godwits. Meticulous illustrations portray the birds in the air and on the ground, up close and at a distance. Baker's well-paced, informative text follows one godwit's migration; the story is (somewhat confoundingly) bookended by a bird-watching boy in a wheelchair, later with crutches. An author's note urges safekeeping of habitats. Map. Websites.
