Ever since we accidentally brought on a global pandemic with our January read, we have been ever so careful to choose something hopeful, happy, and not traumatic for our first read of the year. And this one is as sweet as it gets.
Our January read is “The Backyard Bird Chronicles" by Amy Tan. This event is open to AAPI. Please bring a snack to share.
About the book: “Tracking the natural beauty that surrounds us, The Backyard Bird Chronicles maps the passage of time through daily entries, thoughtful questions, and beautiful 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 divisive than ever. In search of peace, Tan turned toward the natural world just beyond her window and, specifically, the birds visiting her yard. But what began as an attempt to find solace turned into something far greater—an opportunity to savor quiet moments during a volatile time, connect to nature in a meaningful way, and imagine the intricate lives of the birds she admired."
