Journey of the Humpbacks
by Juliana Muñoz Toro (Author), Dipacho (Illustrator), Lawrence Schimel (Translator)
Summary:
Let’s follow the humpback whales as they migrate from the Southern Ocean to the Pacific, stopping near Colombia.
Discover how these whales feed before heading to the warmer ocean, a journey that takes about two months. Young readers will learn all about these magnificent creatures, including their birthing process during migration, their family life, lifespan, and the ways they communicate with one another.
Comments:
The illustrations are created with mixed media and complement the text well.
Although this narrative nonfiction book is written in lyrical language, it includes many nonfiction text features, such as diagrams, labels, and maps. The illustrations are created using mixed media and complement the text beautifully.
The book is well-researched, involving a team of three marine biologists. More information about their credentials and bios can be found in the back of the book.
