What to expect

Bloomsbury presents Finding Home by Mike Unwin, read by Nicole Davis.

Take a tour of 20 unforgettable animal homes: unearth polar bear dens deep beneath the Arctic snow, soar above eagle nests as big as cars and marvel at the remoras that make themselves comfortable on the ocean's deadliest predators.

Finding Home is a celebration of animals and their drive to survive no matter the odds – finding shelter in every nook and cranny on Earth, from the obvious to the unusual. With rich, vivid non-fiction storytelling, this is an essential collection for anyone fascinated by animals and the wild ways they live.

A stunning sequel from Mike Unwin and Jenni Desmond, the internationally bestselling duo behind Migration.

Critics Review

A huge amount of fascinating information is conveyed as much by the stunning illustrations as by the succinct, informative text. This is a glorious book.

BookTrust

Finding Home is a book to return to, to share and to savour.

Best Books for Schools

...a lovely splash of the natural world ... a library necessity and very much welcomed by the young reader beginning to go beyond the superficial with animals.

Armadillo Magazine

Paired with gorgeous watercolor illustrations, entries about each animal provide unique insight into their means of survival. A strong addition wherever animal and ecology books are popular.

School Library Journal Reviews

Graceful and accurately detailed ... Natural engineering at its most astonishing.

Kirkus

Mike Unwin and illustrator Jenni Desmond ... know just how to make children’s precious imaginations soar.

The Guardian on MIGRATION

This non-fiction picture book is a beautifully illustrated, fact-filled goldmine

Children's Book and Media Review on MIGRATION

Each double-page spread summons an outstanding example of migration. We’ve seen many of them before, such as the epic flights of arctic terns and wandering albatross, but others are less well known

Redeemed Reader on MIGRATION

Desmond’s art, created with watercolour, acrylic, ink, pencil, and pencil crayon, incorporates a paragraph of additional information about each species. It is her images that make this oversize album stand out
