Follow the Flyway: The Marvel of Bird Migration
by Sarah Nelson (Goodreads Author), Maya Hanisch (Illustrator)

5 out of 5 stars

In this picture book, we see different birds creating their nests, hatching their young, and teaching them to swim and fly. Then they all migrate south for the winter. Along the way, they hunt for food, rest by rivers or ponds, and instinctively follow the southern route their ancestors have taken for thousands of years.

The artwork is really beautiful, and you get a sense of energetic flying and flapping or peaceful rest depending on what the scene describes. I love the pretty nature scenes in the background, and all the little details of each different type of bird.

There is a section at the back of the book with more information about the types of birds that are included in the book. There are great egrets, trumpeter swans, mallards, Canadian geese, American white pelicans, blue herons, and a bunch of others. This section also explains how birds migrate and the different paths they take depending on what part of North America they inhabit.
