Publisher's Synopsis
Ebu can scarcely believe it. At just two months old, he'll be migrating 3,200 miles to escape the bitter sting of winter. But peril awaits as raptors, a fearsome snake, and the noxious fumes of a raging wildfire all threaten his progress and his very life. Worse yet, he gets lost just one day before the grueling 1,800-mile trek over the ocean! Can the love of his family and a chance encounter with the kindest bird he's ever met give him the strength and courage to find his way home?
Ebu Flies South is a coming of age story... but for a bird! It is written for older children and adults who love birds or, perhaps, would like to be one. There are no people in this book, but if you are looking for an animal-centric tale populated with a cast of philosophical and somewhat neurotic critters, then I wrote this book for you.
