Praise
“This book explores species, both familiar and less so, to ignite a love of birds in budding naturalists and reignite the wonder of birds in seasoned birdwatchers… The watercolor illustrations are beautiful and add a sense of wonder to the book, evoking the beauty of illuminated medieval manuscripts.”
