From award-winning author and artist, Caren Loebel-Fried, comes this vibrantly-illustrated, action-packed introduction to a magnificent seabird, the Laysan Albatross. A Perfect Day for an Albatross sweeps you into an albatross's world of wind, rolling seas, boisterous dancing, and their intense commitment to one another and their nestlings.
Set on Midway Atoll, where 72 percent of the world's Laysan Albatrosses make their nests, Malie, an albatross, must protect her egg until her mate returns. Join Malie as she dances, hunts, and soars over the ocean swells. Illustrated with original hand-carved, hand-pulled, hand-colored block prints, evoking the culture and habitats of albatrosses, with flowing water-colored block prints that make this title a glorious treat for the eyes, as well as the heart.
