(4) K-3 Illustrated by Aliona Bereghici. A series of free-verse poems, arranged chronologically from his childhood through old age, explore Fuertes's dedication to celebrating birds in their natural habitats though art. The poetry's imagery and lilting rhythm convey Fuertes's lifelong wonder of all things aviary. Bird names are included in the bright, lush, if inconsistent, watercolor and ink illustrations. Biographical information is included in the back matter.
