Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: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 Americas greatest painter of birds, this story will leave young readers listening intently for the call of birds large and small near their own homes. About the AuthorIn creating her collage art Melissa Sweet says she makes new discoveries every day. "The elements I use in my collages can come from anyplace, anytime. It"s serendipity to come across just the right rusty bottlecap, old envelope, or flower that was precisely what I didn"t know I was looking for. I always keep a watchful eye open. My greatest (archeological) discovery was a fantastic stamp collection found in a dumpster." She lives in Rockport, Maine, and is the illustrator of many fine children"s books.
