A fisherman and an injured bird form an unlikely friendship in this dazzling debut picture book

---

When a lonely fisherman finds an injured bird on his boat, he nurtures it back to health and-since the bird can no longer migrate with its family-charts a course to head south for the winter. Together, the two form a special friendship and enjoy life at sea until both the healing process and the journey must come to an end. In the tradition of the classic Amos & Boris , South is a story about making new friends and the bittersweet process of saying good-bye to the ones we love. It beautifully depicts the power of new beginnings and the freedom in coming home.
