Book of Cranes

For Cooley the cranes are something beyond curiosity, perhaps familiar, yet inexplicable. To learn about the cranes, she went to the International Crane Fdn. in Wisconsin (the only place where all 15 species exist). There she walked among them & interacted with them. For 60 million years, cranes have flown over practically every continent. They can fly at altitudes of up to 30,000 ft. & can migrate over 5,000 miles. This book shares the magnificence of these creatures & helps their survival. For each species of crane, Cooley offers a page of poetic description accompanied by a watercolor illustration. A beautiful work of art with a gorgeous slipcase.Cooley, Clare is the author of 'Book of Cranes' with ISBN 9780788193231 and ISBN 0788193236.
