The Swallow’s Journey 5000 kilometers across the sea

by Mamoru Suzuki

This dramatic picture book lets the young reader accompany the swallow on
his long, perilous journey to Japan. The rhythmical, lyrical text expresses
the instincts driving the swallow, whilst the anatomically accurate yet
artistically sweeping pictures bring the bird to life on each page. This
stunning book artfully communicates the preciousness of life.
