Book Information
A lot of people do not realize the amount of care it takes to really host bluebirds. And because sometimes when our good intentions are not well informed, they have negative consequences, this book sets out to instruct potential bluebird hosts with a 3- pronged approach. First, every spread is full of topical text, second every spread contains an illustrated topical visual to further help inform, and third since these visuals are line art, they are meant to be colored in, which helps readers fully engage.
The back cover of the page presents reference images of most of the birds in the book so that readers can know what colors to use. However, they shouldn’t be afraid to play around with color and take artistic liberties.
