From the author of Shark Lady comes the true story of Florence Merriam Bailey, the groundbreaking scientist who inspired a nation to take up birdwatching and worked tirelessly to protect our feathered friends.Before Florence, there was no such thing as "birdwatching". Bright plumes on ladys hats were all the rage, but no one was climbing trees or wading through marshgrass to spot the birds they came from. Even scientists studied birds in labs instead of outside in their natural habitat.But Florence changed all that. A birdlover since childhood, she wanted to show the world what made these creatures special. She wanted everyone to care as much as she did, and so she taught classes, printed pamphlets, and eventually began leading bird walks so people could see it with their own eyes. Over time, they did see! With hard work and perseverence, Florence changed the way we look at birds, inspiring millions to follow in her footsteps on bird walks of their own.With gorgeous illustrations by awardwinning artist Devon Holzwarth (Listen), Florences story takes flight in soaring spreads that capture her inquisitive spirit and passionate advocacy for our feathered friends, a legacy that lives on to this day.
