Named Luck by the girl who rescues him from a six-pack holder in the Texas marsh, a young sandhill crane is able to begin the long migration north to Siberia with his parents. Though the birds depend on natural landmarks to find their way, Luck also memorizes human evidence, including the girl’s blue sunglasses,that will ultimately bring him back to his home, along with his new mate. Detailed artwork gives readers a crane’s eye view of the landscape, as well as breathtaking glimpses of these fascinating birds in flight. The story unfolds with humor and awe at the miraculous journey these creatures undertake, while providing an instructive exploration of migration patterns, animal conservation and the human-wildlife connection.
