Following a Godwit's Epic Journey North

Written by Jackie Kerin and illustrated by Milly Formby, a pilot, zoologist and illustrator, this picture book follows a microlight flight tracing the migration path of shorebirds from Australia to their Arctic breeding grounds. Along the way it introduces E7, a bar-tailed godwit that set a world record for the longest non-stop flight, and explores the wetlands and habitats these birds depend on.

Aimed at children aged around six to nine, it was shortlisted for the Wilderness Society Environment Award for Children's Literature and named a CBCA Notable Book, making it a strong choice for young wildlife enthusiasts and budding conservationists.
