A gorgeous, witty account of birding, nature and the beauty around us that hides in plain sight, written and illustrated by the best-selling author of “The Joy Luck Club” with a foreword by David Allen Sibley. In 2016, Amy Tan grew overwhelmed by the state of the world: Hatred and misinformation became a daily presence on social media, and the country felt more divisive than ever. In search of peace, Tan turned toward the natural world just beyond her window and, specifically, the birds visiting her yard. But what began as an attempt to find solace turned into something far greater—an opportunity to savor quiet moments during a volatile time, connect to nature in a meaningful way and imagine the intricate lives of the birds she admired.
