Sun Bird: The Amazing Journey of the Arctic Tern by Lindsay Moore

Sun Bird is an incredible non-fiction story of the Arctic Tern and their travels from the Arctic to the Antarctic. The illustrations are absolutely stunning and really show us the story as much as the words tell us the story. The words are artfully woven between the illustrations in a way that adds to the story while letting the illustrations be the star of the show. The author balances telling the story with giving us important information to keep us both engaged and learning. The end of the book includes more information about the Arctic Terns and shows their migration—from pole to pole! At the end of the book it also gives links to videos and resources for teachers and librarians to play. This would be a fantastic addition to any elementary library, classroom unit on animals, migration, or birds, or a differentiated or alternative text for secondary students. This is definitely a five-star read and I’m recommending it for cream of the crop!
