Description

Time to Move South for Winter is the remarkable story of animal migration. On the cold, mirrored waters of the Arctic, a tiny Arctic tern sets off on the world's longest migration journey. On her way, she passes humpback whales gliding through the sea, caribou snaking over snowy valleys, Canada geese soaring on the wild winter wind, cottonmouth snakes slithering over blacktop roads and monarch butterflies sailing in the cool winter breeze. When she finally arrives, she must find a new home by the rocky Antarctic shores... until it's time for the not-so-tiny tern to return to the northern skies once again. A beautiful, lyrical and reassuring bedtime story that subtly educates, perfect for animal lovers young and old.

Author Bio

Jenny Lovlie grew up in Northern-Norway on Ekkeroy, a tiny peninsula sticking out into the Barents Sea, where she was the first child to be born in 12 years. Summers were spent in the great outdoors under the never-setting sun, climbing rocks, watching the seagull-chicks hatching and rock-pooling and the dark winters reading, drawing and making. Jenny studied Illustration & Animation at Kingston University in London, and graduated with a BA Hons in 2014. Her love of nature shines through in her work and she draws inspiration from the wild landscapes of Scandinavia, nordic folklore and Scandinavian design. Jenny is fascinated by the strong bond between humans and animals and the link between humans and nature. Jenny's favourite things are going on adventures in her van, camping, bird-watching, cooking and reading.
