As a boy, John James Audubon loved to watch birds. In 1804, at the age of eighteen, he moved from his home in France to Pennsylvania. There he took a particular interest in peewee flycatchers. While observing these birds, John James became determined to answer a pair of two-thousand-year-old questions: Where do small birds go in the winter, and do they return to the same nest in the spring?… (mehr)

Nice biography to introduce children to Audubon.

It does briefly include flirting as a skill he has so maybe be ready to explain that.

A really nice book illustrating how special interests can be a life’s work. Suitable for celebrating special interests. ( )

First, I liked this book because within the first couple of pages gender norms are broken down. The author notes the VARIOUS activities he liked to do. It just so happened watching birds was his favorite which later a family member labels "strange for a boy his age." Pshhh nonsense and look where his curiosity landed him!! Audobon's story not only tells of his brilliant science discovery of bird migration or expresses his creativity and skill in the arts, but this book reminds children to be confident in their interests. If you like something- own it and go for it!
The illustrations of this book are magnificent as well and made me feel like I was in Audubon's musee. ( )

A creatively illustrated and informative story about how John James Audubon came to discover the innovation of tagging birds. I really like how the book conveys his passion and fervor for observing birds and how his collections and observations can possibly serve as a model for students to start their own scientific collections. The illustrations are also so creative and beautiful. ( )

"John James Audubon was a boy who loved the out-of-doors more than the in. He was a boy who believed in studying birds in nature, not just from books. And, in the fall of 1804, he was a boy determined to learn if the small birds nesting near his Pennsylvania home really would return the following spring.
This book reveals how the youthful Audubon pioneered a technique essential to our understanding of birds. Capturing the early passion of America’s greatest painter of birds, this story will leave young readers listening intently for the call of birds large and small near their own homes." The book shows how he collected items from nature that he wondered about and kept a "museum" of the items in his room.
