The Illuminated Book of Birds

“Robin Crofut-Brittingham’s art invites us to imagine a future where we live in balance with nature, and her new book certainly inspires a deeper appreciation for birds.”–My Modern Met“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“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“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
