An inspirational wordless picture book about migration. The images depict the harrowing journey of a group of animals who leave a forest and travel across land and sea to a new place. The range of emotional responses is a testimony to the skill of the illustrator. There is courage, dignity, sacrifice, life, death, care and hope. The detailed clothing reflects the individuality of each creature, and the black background is very powerful, as are the figures of death and the bright blue Ibis. Thought-provoking and moving, this exceptional book will resonate with readers of any age. .
