Trade Review
"The facts alone make this captivating, and children will soak it all up as the story progresses through vivid illustrations that highlight the majesty of the shearwaters' lifecycle and the extreme challenges and dangers they all face." -- Mike Sullivan * Wildlife Australia, Summer *
"The children will love this book as Diane Jackson Hill tells the story through a baby Shearwater called Hope. ...The beautiful illustrations by Craig Smith bring the whole remarkable story to life and we are left to wonder how these little birds find their way by just using their own instincts on the same day every year." * Good Reading Magazine *
