“A lovely, lovely book with a wonderful style. It is reminiscent of the bird artists of yesteryear—Audubon and Gould.” –Amy Tan, author of The Backyard Bird Chronicles
"Opening this book is an experience akin to hearing the dawn chorus: a moment of sweet and unalloyed delight—the riot of glorious color the precision, the meticulous attention to every avian detail. The dawn chorus may end with each sunrise: this book will long endure. It is a treasure for the ages." —Simon Winchester
“This book explores species, both familiar and less so, to ignite a love of birds in budding naturalists and reignite the wonder of birds in seasoned birdwatchers… The watercolor illustrations are beautiful and add a sense of wonder to the book, evoking the beauty of illuminated medieval manuscripts.” —Library Journal
