Omschrijving

"A bright and accessible introduction to a woman whose quiet advocacy left a lasting impact, complete with easy suggestions for budding birders and environmentalists to follow in Bailey's observant footsteps." --The Horn Book Guide

Meet Florence Merriam Bailey, a pioneering birder and activist who changed the way we study birds forever, in this lushly illustrated picture book biography.

As a young girl, Florence Merriam Bailey fell in love with the outdoors, especially with birds whose songs and flight captivated her. She listened, waited, and watched to better understand her feathered friends. As an adult, she wrote many books, including one of the first field guides to American birds, and advocated for the scientific study of birds in nature rather than in a lab. Her work ultimately led to better understanding of and protection for birds.

Artist Andrea D'Aquino brings to life the story of a woman ahead of her time. Striking full-page collages make each page a delight to read.

BIRD BOOK FOR KIDS: Birdwatching has soared in popularity among adults, teens, and kids in recent years. This unique and engaging story is perfect for birders, budding ornithologists, and nature lovers of all kinds. It includes beautifully crafted bird images, along with their species name and special calls, and a short resource section at the back, which is a terrific place to start for more information.

ACCOMPLISHED ARTIST AUTHOR: Andrea D'Aquino's lush collages and engaging text celebrate Bailey's remarkable accomplishments and tell a story that will appeal to and inspire young readers and bird lovers. D'Aquino is also the author of A Life Made by Hand: The Story of Ruth Asawa and an illustrated edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
