The godwits are an iconic bird species with a long bill which migrate each year from New Zealand - Aotearoa through East Asia and the Pacific to the Alaskan Arctic regions. A young girl and her grandmother, Baba Didi, are on a beach watching the godwits preparing to migrate. Talking about the birds' courageous journey across the Pacific resonates with generations of human migration, from the Maori reaching New Zealand to Baba Didi's journey from Croatia. Illustrated with warmth and radiance this is an epic story told with charm.
