HOW WILL GILBERT
FIND HIS WAY SOUTH?

Gilbert is a Sanderling chick who hatched high in the Arctic tundra. Now, he must find his way south for the winter where warm weather and plentiful food await. Join Gilbert as he teams up with two other young Sanderlings to embark on an amazing journey of over 4,000 miles. The trip is not easy! They must deal with hurricanes, hungry falcons, and confusing city lights. But as Gilbert helps his friends navigate each obstacle, he gains the skills and confidence he needs to succeed. Curious readers will learn all about shorebirds, their incredible migrations, and how we can help protect these fascinating birds.

what’s inside the book?

Gilbert's Migration Vacation is truly a unique picture book that teaches children about the common shorebirds that they can see on beaches up and down the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States. The book is designed to give children an appreciation for the amazing migrations that these small birds make and ignite a desire to protect them. The main character, Gilbert, is also a role model for meeting challenges head on, learning from your mistakes, and becoming stronger as a result. Written in the hybrid style of Susan’s first three books – an engaging fictional story supplemented by fact boxes – Gilbert is fast paced, entertaining, yet full of information. In the back, there is a glossary of terms, profiles of additional shorebirds, and tips on what we can do to protect migrating birds. 

Gilbert's Migration Vacation is a great companion to Jenny's First Catch, Susan's book about common wading birds.   

WHAT’S INSIDE THE BOOK?

Jenny’s First Catch is truly a unique children’s picture book that not only covers important science concepts of physical adaptation and habitat partitioning, but also models for children the language and thought process of a Growth Mindset. Written in the hybrid style of Susan’s first two books – an engaging fictional story supplemented by fact boxes – Jenny is fast paced and full of information about the common wading birds that children see. In the back, there is a glossary of terms, profiles of additional wading birds, and a listing of some of the best places to view these birds in Southwest Florida.  Take your family on a birding adventure and see how many of the birds in the book you can spot!
