In the far North When October spills Across the ice And the wind sweeps high The wild whooping cranes fly. In this poetic celebration of one of North America's most rare and beautiful birds, Eileen Spinelli lovingly introduces young readers to the seasonal rhythms and unique grace of these endangered creatures. Artist Elsa Warnick's delicate watercolors exquisitely capture the varied habitats and behaviors of the whooping cranes.
