\nSummary:
"Tracking the natural b
eauty that surrounds us\, The Backyard Bird Chronicles maps the p
assage of time through daily entries\, thoughtful questions\, and beautifu
l original sketches. With boundless charm and wit\, author Amy Tan charts
her foray into birding and the natural wonders of the world. In 2016\, Amy
Tan grew overwhelmed by the state of the world: Hatred and misinformation
became a daily presence on social media\, and the country felt more divis
ive than ever. In search of peace\, Tan turned toward the natural world ju
st beyond her window and\, specifically\, the birds visiting her yard. But
what began as an attempt to find solace turned into something far greater
&mdash\;an opportunity to savor quiet moments during a volatile time\, con
nect to nature in a meaningful way\, and imagine the intricate lives of th
e birds she admired."
