After surviving the challenging early months of life, a young snowy owl journeys south in search of food during a bleak Arctic winter. This information-rich narrative relates the bird's experiences with nature's harsh realities in a straightforward but poetic style. Detailed watercolor and pencil illustrations showing the changing scenery capably underscore the vast distance traveled. An author's note gives more information.
