Description
Louis Fuertes was a bird artist with a passion for painting living, flying birds in their natural habitats. He learned from the art of John James Audubon and practiced tirelessly to achieve his dream. As he grew up, Louis's paintings became renowned for their beauty and helped inspire wildlife conservation. Poems by Margarita Engle and illustrations by Aliona Bereghici bring Louis Fuertes's life to life in a captivating way. The book tells the story of how Louis's art made a difference and encouraged people to celebrate and protect the world of wings. Louis Fuertes is now remembered as the father of modern bird art, thanks to his travels with scientific expeditions around the world and his iconic paintings for habitat exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History.
