Driven from her nest, Little Bird crosses paths with other migrating animals, including humans, looking for a safe place to call home.
Reading like a modern nursery rhyme, Fly Away Home begins with a family of birds launched into exile as a troubling of hummingbirds / brings news of beyond and the deceit of lapwings drives its family to roam.
Author Betty Quan gives animals thought-provoking collective nouns (a charm of goldfinches, a flamboyance of flamingoes) -- some real, some invented -- while Akin Duzakin's simple yet suggestive illustrations spark curiosity about the characters Little Bird encounters.
On the wing, Little Bird witnesses the mass migrations of other animals: monarch butterflies, caribou, sea turtles -- and humans, too, including one little girl with a pink backpack. After her family finds asylum, Little Bird meets the little girl on a balcony in a new city -- a safe nest for both at last.
With the world witnessing an unprecedented level of migration--for greater opportunities or because of conflicts and climate change -- and over forty million international migrants under the age of twenty, Fly Away Home offers families and classrooms a hopeful entry to a complex topic.
