Description

One spring day in Alaska a pair of Arctic terns landed at Potter Marsh near Anchorage. They rested after their long flight north from Antarctica. They built a nest and laid an egg. Soon a downy baby arctic tern hatched.

The baby tern had so much to learn: how to eat, how to swim and how to care for his feathers. But his greatest wish was to fly. After many days of practice, trial and failure, he stretched his wings one day and before he knew it, he was flying high in the sky!

Growing up in Alaska: A Baby Arctic Tern is a delightful and educational story about learning and growing and stretching your wings. Children and adults alike will enjoy the pictures of the fluffy baby tern as he explores his world.

Children learn about Arctic terns throughout the story and back pages provide additional fun facts about Arctic terns and their amazing migration.

Fathom's goal is to publish quickly while paying careful attention to what is special about each book. We give personal attention to our authors and aim to make them proud to show off their publications. Early Years, Alaskana Connie Taylor formed Fathom Publishing Company in 1981 to publish books about Cordova, Alaska. Our first books were Cordova Fire Chief Dewey Whetsell's And the Fire's Not Green and Rose Arvidson's Cordova The First 75 Years. Next followed a coloring book by Cordova artist Mike Anderson, Coloring Alaska's Cordova. Nancy Ross and Mike Anderson collaborated on Cordova's Historic Buildings which included pen and ink drawings of old Cordova buildings and their history.
