Charrancito Se Lanza a Volar / Tiny Tern Takes Flight [Reversible]

Beschreibung

Tiny Tern Takes Flight is now available in a bilingual reversible flip book! Read the text in English, then flip the book over and read the other side in Spanish. Perfect for ELLs and dual language learners. Arctic terns make the longest migration of any species. Every year, they fly from the northern Arctic to the southern Antarctic--and back--spending most of the year in flight. As the days grow shorter and colder, Tiny Tern and the flock prepare to leave the Arctic and begin their journey towards sunlight and warmth. The terns travel all the way to the other side of the world. Along the way, they encounter many dangers. Experience a bird's-eye view of getting lost in heavy storms, protecting hatchlings from predators, and finally reaching your destination. With lyrical text and wondrous illustrations, join the flock of terns on their incredible journey, and learn about the power of perseverance from the birds who do it best. Charrancito se lanza a volar / Tiny Tern Takes Flight is a celebration of nature, featuring the seemingly ordinary tern's lifelong quest for summer sunlight.

Autor

Donna B. McKinney lived most of her life in the Washington, D.C. area, where she worked at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, writing about science. Now she has another great job--writing books for kids, including her previous release titled Lights On. Donna currently lives in North Carolina with two full-of-mischief dogs. When she's not writing, she enjoys hiking, fishing, and playing a game called pickleball (kind of like a mix of tennis and ping pong). Born and bred in Kent, England, Fiona Osbaldstone loved painting as a kid and used to paint her own versions of Disney characters. She always wanted to do something with art and went to the Kent Institute of Art & Design. She was inspired by the works of David Shepherd and Norman Rockwell for their detail and diversely different styles. Her work includes natural history, botanicals, people, and scenes. Outside of the artistic field, although not too far removed, she loves pottery and makes and sells her own pieces. She enjoys photography as well as cycling but is "not too good at that and will invariably end up in a ditch."
