Commentary
This picture book follows the long and difficult journey of the barnacle geese the creator encountered when he traveled to the Arctic in 2011. The magnificent natural scenery which unfolds in front of the wild geese parents and children on their way to the "Promised Land" jumps from the page in artwork spread across two facing pages.
