Mya-Rose Craig Bücher

Wie uns die Natur durch schwere Zeiten helfen kann: Das berührende Memoir einer besonderen jungen Frau. Mya-Rose ist neun, als ihre Mutter versucht, sich das Leben zu nehmen. Die Diagnose: bipolare Störung. Nichts scheint zu helfen. Bis der Vater, ein begeisterter Vogelkundler, die entscheidende Idee hat: Mya-Rose und ihre Eltern packen die Ferngläser ein und machen sich auf nach Südamerika, um die Harpye zu finden, den stärksten Greifvogel der Welt. Ihre Reise, die nicht die einzige bleiben wird, ist voller Abenteuer und Hindernisse. Doch die Natur und die Vögel geben der Familie Halt und Kraft. Für Mya-Rose ist es der Start in ein außergewöhnliches Leben.

Look around you. Whether you live in a city or the countryside, whether you're standing in a field or peering out of a window. If you wait a few minutes the chances are that you'll see a bird. But did you know that many of these creatures go on epic adventures every single year? This is the story of seven of these amazing birds and their incredible journeys around the globe. You'll meet the arctic tern, which covers the distance from the Earth to the Moon and back three times in its lifetime. And the humble swallow, whose epic migration takes it through Europe, across the Sahara Desert and all the way to the tip of South Africa. Along the way, you'll discover history and folklore from around the world that reveal the special relationship between humans and birds. With Lynn Scurfield's beautiful full-colour original artwork on every page, this is the perfect gift for nature-lovers everywhere.
