'Small, Speckled Egg' starts with an egg. The fluffy chick that emerges is an Arctic tern - one of the most remarkable creatures on the planet. The story of her life is told clearly and carefully in a way that builds understanding. The illustrations draw the reader into the tern's world to watch her grow from chick to juvenile, and marvel at her long migration from the top of the world to the bottom and back again. It's a journey she does every year of her life. The story ends with her meeting her lifelong mate and the 50 adorable chicks they have in their lifetime.
