Book
The backyard bird chronicles / written and illustrated by Amy Tan ; foreword by David Allen Sibley.
"Tracking the natural beauty that surrounds us, 'The Backyard Bird Chronicles' maps the passage of time through daily entries, thoughtful questions, and beautiful original sketches. With boundless charm and wit, author Amy Tan charts her foray into birding and the natural wonders of the world. In 2016, Amy Tan grew overwhelmed by the state of the world: Hatred and misinformation had become a daily presence on social media, and the country felt more divided than ever. In search of peace, Tan turned to the natural world just beyond her window and, specifically, to the birds visiting her yard. But what began as an attempt to find solace turned into something far greater - an opportunity to savor quiet moments during a volatile time, connect to nature in a meaningful way, and imagine the intricate lives of the birds she admired." -- Provided by dustjacket.
