The Backyard Bird Chronicles di Amy Tan
I’m gonna say this is a pretty good book, but I kind of started to lose interest even though I’m interested in actualism. I recognize that she is the author of another famous book which I wasn’t actually interested in reading either, but I’m glad about this book. Give it a try! One issue is I’m listening to it as an audiobook and apparently you’re supposed to use it as a regular book because you can’t see the pictures that she is drawn when it’s an audiobook.
This was an amazing book - really great story - really great lives... excellent readers -
one of the best books I've read in a while.
one of the best books I've read in a while.
I am impressed with Tan's dedication to leaning how to illustrate as well as her devotion to her lovely backyard and its birds. I work in a bird rehab clinic and getting to interact and see birds up close will change you. Well done and hopefully an inspiration for others and their backyards.
