Arctic terns weigh just four ounces, yet they 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 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 their destination.
Ideal for readers ages 4-7, Tiny Tern Takes Flight shows young kids how terns use their amazing skills and adaptations to persevere through extreme challenges. Through evocative and poetic language, children will fall in love with the wonders of the natural world. This picture book not only captivates but also encourages kids to observe and appreciate the behaviors and needs of the wildlife around them, fostering a deeper connection with nature and promoting lifelong learning and curiosity.
A review in Publishers Weekly states, "In tracing a remarkable migration, this work highlights the tenacity and endurance of this small seabird, which lives across the globe 'in two summers every year.'"
Following Tiny Tern’s story, discover more educational content about these amazing birds. Learn about what they eat, how they fly, and everything they encounter during their time in the Arctic and Antarctic!
Whether reading it together in a classroom or snuggled up at home, any animal lover, bird watcher, or nature enthusiast will enjoy following the Arctic terns to the ends of the earth in their amazing quest for sunshine. A Teacher’s Guide, downloadable from the publisher’s website, extends and expands the content of the book.
