The Backyard Bird Chronicles by Amy Tan
I’ve read Amy Tan’s books for years, but I never expected that she would delve into the world of bird watching. In her latest, Tan has written and illustrated this beautiful book on her relationship with one of her favorite hobbies. In 2016, Tan felt overwhelmed by the state of the world, but she found solace in nature. She began watching the birds flying in and out of her backyard. Before long, she had dozens of sketches of different kinds of birds. Tan’s new hobby gave her hope that a better world was still possible.
