“A lovely, lovely book with a wonderful style. It is reminiscent of the bird artists of yesteryear—Audubon and Gould.”—Amy Tan

The Illuminated Book of Birds is a stunning, one-of-a-kind celebration of the birds of the world. By award-winning painter Robin Crofut-Brittingham, it includes large-scale fine art paintings of the birds in Latin America, Africa, Asia, Oceania, North America, and Europe, along with flightless birds, unusual birds, and extinct birds. It looks at birds together, grouping them by geography and families, and delights in illuminating their habits and cultural and mythological significance. Every bird is individually featured, with curious and fun facts that will delight new and seasoned birders. In total, readers meet nearly 400 hand painted birds and experience a global birding adventure from the comfort of home.
