Description

John James Audubon was a boy who loved the outdoors more than the indoors. He believed in studying birds in nature, not just from books. In the fall of 1804, he was determined to learn if the small birds nesting near his home would return the following spring. This book tells the story of how Audubon pioneered a technique essential to our understanding of birds. Audubon's early passion for birds is revealed in this book, which captures the spirit of America's greatest painter of birds. The story is one of curiosity, determination, and a love of nature that would shape Audubon's life's work. By reading about Audubon's journey, young readers can learn about the importance of observing and recording the natural world, and how this approach can lead to a deeper understanding of the world around them.
