World magazine reviewed this book in their latest issue, which prompted me to borrow and read this book.
Ms. Keating reveals how Florence Merriam Bailey's love for birds developed from her childhood through adulthood and how she dedicated her life to sharing this passion with others. Her impact has not been noticed or celebrated. She created the first known field guide to American birds in 1889!
*Highly recommend. I love how at the end of the book Ms. Holzwarth created a spread of all of the birds incorporated in the illustrations and requested the readers to search for them throughout the book.
-Borrowed from the library.
