Summary

Change is all around us.From the first buds of springtime to the first autumn frost, nature shows us that change is all around us and that the world has its own way of beginning anew.Bird, Butterfly, and Eelspend their summers on the same coastal farm, but in the fall they go to very distant and different places. Their journeys to the far reaches of land and sea make them remarkable creatures. James Prosek uses their stories and his own sun-kissed paintings to introduce young readers to the basic elements of bird, fish, and insect migration.
