Description

Take a tour of 20 unforgettable animal homes: unearth polar bear dens deep beneath the Arctic snow, soar above eagle nests as big as cars and marvel at the remoras that make themselves comfortable on the ocean's deadliest predators. Finding Home is a celebration of animals and their drive to survive no matter the odds - finding shelter in every nook and cranny on Earth, from the obvious to the unusual. With rich, vivid non-fiction storytelling and arresting illustrations, this is an essential collection for anyone fascinated by animals and the wild ways they live. A stunning sequel from Mike Unwin and Jenni Desmond, the internationally bestselling duo behind Migration.

Reviews

An absolutely stunning book which follows twenty animals around the globe on their incredible migrations. The vivid descriptions of these epic journeys are beautifully illustrated by Jenni Desmond. A lovely gift in hardback. * The Guardian on MIGRATION *
The duo behind [Migration] ... know just how to make childrens precious imaginations soar. * The Observer on MIGRATION *
This non-fiction picture book is a beautifully illustrated, fact-filled goldmine * Children's Book and Media Review on MIGRATION *
Each double-page spread summons an outstanding example of migration. Weve seen many of them before, such as the epic flights of arctic terns and wandering albatross, but others are less well known * Redeemed Reader on MIGRATION *
Desmonds art, created with watercolour, acrylic, ink, pencil, and pencil crayon, incorporates a paragraph of additional information about each species. It is her images that make this oversize album stand out * Kirkus on MIGRATION *
