description: With poetic language and lush oil paintings children will cheer on the tiny but mighty yellow warbler as she makes her perilous migration journey from the tropics of Central America to the Canadian tundra. The warbler is helped along the way by three different children and families: a Nicaraguan family whose traditional shade coffee farm sustains migrant birds an African-American family that creates a garden in their backyard on the gulf coast to provide food for her and a family from The utsl K' Dene First Nation in Canada who have preserved land for all animals.The yellow warblers journey is one migration out of many millions each a miracle of tenacity and survival. Her journey of great risks and challenges is made even harder today by human changes that have severely eroded these birds habitat. However the end pages detail many actions large and small that people can take to ease the passage of these birds.
