The Long, Long Journey The Godwit's Amazing Migration by Sandra Markle illustrated by Mia Posada*

Starting with a female chick the reader observes the godwit's development and then journey from Alaska to New Zealand.  The text is simple enough that it will keep a preschooler's attention but older children will still be amazed about this little bird.
More facts are listed at the end.  In the find out more section there are websites to see this real photos and videos of the bird.  Map in back to show its migration path. The author lives in New Zealand and sees these birds firsthand.
*Highly recommend.
