The Backyard Bird Chronicles by Amy Tan
informative
lighthearted
slow-paced
4.0
Are you or is someone you know deeply obsessed with birds? Like maybe to a concerning extent? Then do I have the book for you!
Jam packed with journal illustrations from scratchy, silly bird comics to delicate bird portraits with breathtaking detail, it’s easy and pleasant to pick up and read an entry or two at a time.
I suspect some readers might gripe with the anthropomorphism of birds or tire of her wondering dozens of unanswered question, both of which I found entirely relatable as a curious artist sort.
