Louis loves to watch birds. He takes care of injured birds and
studies how they look and how they move. His father wants him to
become an engineer, but Louis dreams of being a bird artist. To
achieve this dream, he must practice, practice, practice. He learns
from the art of John James Audubon. But as Louis grows up, he
begins to draw and paint living, flying birds in their natural
habitats. Louis Agassiz Fuertes (1874-1927) is now known as the
father of modern bird art. He traveled with many scientific
expeditions all over the world. His best-known works-paintings for
habitat exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History in New
York-are still beloved by visitors today. His art helped to
encourage wildlife conservation, inspiring people to celebrate and
protect the world of wings. Poems by Newbery Honor-winning author
Margarita Engle and illustrations by Aliona Bereghici capture the
life of Louis Fuertes and the deep sense of wonder that he felt
when he painted the sky.
