Around 50% of bird species are in decline worldwide. Our dawns and springs are quieter each year than the last.

Inspired by the classic bird-books with which the authors grew up, this is a field guide with a difference. It asks not ‘What is that bird?’, but ‘Who is that bird?’ It shows its readers how to identify birds, but also how to identify with them.\u003cbr\u003e\nWith lyrical precision and playfulness, Robert Macfarlane evokes each bird’s habits and habitats –– their patterns of flight and of song, how they nest and hunt, the threats which shadow them, and how their wild lives intersect with ours. And on every page we encounter Jackie Morris’s exhilarating artwork, painted in watercolour and gold, animated by an extraordinary attention to detail and sense of life. Set among this dazzling flock of species are seven sections celebrating the 'Seven Wonders' that together make up the everyday miracle of 'Bird': Nest, Egg, Beak, Song, Feather, Flight and Migration.\u003cbr\u003e\nSeven years in the making,\u0026nbsp;\u003cem\u003eThe Book of Birds\u003c\/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;is a love letter to the splendours and mysteries of birdlife, and a clarion call to halt the loss of birds from land, sea and sky. From Dipper to Dunnock and Kestrel to Kingfisher, from mountain to ocean and city to river, Jackie Morris and Robert Macfarlane conjure the unique spirit and lifeway of each species. This is a book to be treasured by bird-lovers of all ages, and a future classic work of reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","EAN":"9781487007515","Height":"9.65","HeightCode":"in","Imprint":"Anansi International","MetaKeywords":"birds; animals; nature; habitats and ecosystems; wildlife and habitats; nature, animals, the natural world; general knowledge and interesting facts; Common Core aligned; CC Literature Craft and Structure; kindergarten; grade 1; CCBC Best Books for Children and Teens, starred selection; Cooperative Children's Book Center Choices List; Ontario Library Association Best Bets Top Ten; nonfiction; picture book; introduction; scientific nomenclature; labels; glossary; index; references; further reading","NumberOfPages":"384","OtherText_ShortDescription_0":"From the creators of the internationally bestselling, award-winning, multi-adapted phenomenon The Lost Words: a dazzling celebration of birdlife, re-imagining the classic field guide for a new generation of nature lovers","ProductFormDescription":"hardcover","PublicationDate":"2026-05-07","Publisher":"House of Anansi Press Inc","ShortDescription":"From the creators of the internationally bestselling, award-winning, multi-adapted phenomenon The Lost Words: a dazzling celebration of birdlife, re-imagining the classic field guide for a new generation of nature lovers","Width":"6.57","WidthCode":"in"}
