Beautiful Artwork
I am very happy with this book. The artwork is beautiful and I like the little stories that go with the lore and meaning of the birds. It would be better if the description was longer with more information about the birds and some meanings are not what I have heard in the past. For instance, the Cardinal, in this book means confidence while I have always heard it means connection to friends or relatives who have passed on so I guess I thought of the Cardinal as a connection to the spiritual world. Overall though a very nice book which would also make a wonderful gift for bird lovers.

Lovely book
The illusions are just beautiful, and the one page on each of the birds drawn makes it a very inspirational read.

Gorgeous - highly recommend Jessica Roux’s works
Such a gorgeous book! The corners of the front and back cover are easy to dent but the pages and images are beautiful. Content is straightforward - like a quick reference book.
