A very sweet book about one man, Christian Cooper, who will make you want to go out and bird RIGHT NOW! RIGHT AWAY! Ah, but are you cis het? Are you white? Well then get on out there, nothing is stopping you from grabbing your binoculars and ambling about looking for birds! Are you Black or Hispanic? Queer? Unfortunately the world is not going to be quite as friendly to you as it will be to those white birders. Read on to learn about Christian as he grew up a nerd (worked for Marvel comics?! Created the Starfleet Academy comics?! Helped bring about the first gay male character (Northstar) in a Marvel comic?! A very iconic nerd!) as well as a passion for birding (which he fostered at a very young age, but you might have heard about him around 2021 when a viral video of a very horrible, racist woman confronted him in Central Park while he was birding one morning).
I don't often do biographies but this one was fantastic and wonderful to hear all about his life experiences!
