It starts with an egg that hatches into one of the most impressive birds on the planet – an Arctic tern. Watch her grow, learn to fly, and start her long migration from the Arctic to Antarctica and back again. A journey she does every year of her life. Her lifecycle is turned into this easy-to-read story and the beautiful illustrations transport you to chilly polar landscapes.

Pupils should be taught to:
- identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how different habitats provide for the basic needs of different kinds of animals and plants, and how they depend on each other
- describe how animals obtain their food from plants and other animals, using the idea of a simple food chain, and identify and name different sources of food
- notice that animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults
