Novelist Amy Tan is well known as the best-selling universally acclaimed author of The Joy Luck Club, The Kitchen God’s Wife, The Bonesetter’s Daughter, and many more important works. In her backyard, among the hundreds of visiting birds, she is known as The Lady Who Builds Birdfeeders. Hear about the ongoing turmoil of Amy’s homemade feeders, the charming hummingbirds, the pesky squirrels and rude scrub jays, and the plight of her very small dog who tries to make sense of everything. Then settle into your nest for the night and fall gently asleep.

Purchase your copy of The Backyard Bird Chronicles written and illustrated by Amy Tan at the bookstore of your choice. For more information on Amy and her books, visit her website at www.AmyTan.net.
