All Eyes on Alexandra
In All Eyes on Alexandra, young Alexandra Crane is terrible at following her family in their flying Vee. She can’t help it that the world is so full of interesting distracting sights! When it’s time for the Cranes to migrate to Israel’s Hula Valley for the winter, Alexandra is excited but her family is worried. Will Alexandra stay with the group, and what happens if a dangerous situation should arise? Might Alexandra—and the rest of the flock—discover that a bad follower can sometimes make a great leader?
Based on the true story of Israel’s annual crane migration.
All Eyes on Alexandra is available to purchase on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Target.
All Eyes on Alexandra Review
I received a complementary copy to review.
Did you know that cranes migrate? I had no idea, nor did I know that they fly in a vee formation like geese! I guess when you live in a place like Ohio and nowhere near water, you don’t see many cranes. All Eyes on Alexandra will not only teach you and your kids something you may not know, but also it will show you that it’s okay to be different. It’s okay to wander and explore (as long as you’re with a grown-up).
I think children will appreciate how Alexandra’s family comes to realize that though she may seem irresponsible, she really isn’t. The illustrations help tell the story beautifully. They show the different parts of Europe subtly in the background as the cranes migrate through those areas. This can give you a lot of talking points.
