A gorgeous, witty account of birding, nature, and the beauty around us that hides in plain sight, written and illustrated by the best-selling author of The Joy Luck Club • With a foreword by David Allen Sibley
“Unexpected and spectacular” —Ann Patchett, best-selling author of These Precious Days
"The drawings and essays in this book do a lot more than just describe the birds. They carry a sense of discovery through observation and drawing, suggest the layers of patterns in the natural world, and emphasize a deep personal connection between the watcher and the watched. The birds that inhabit Amy Tan’s backyard seem a lot like the characters in her novels.” —David Allen Sibley, from the foreword
Tracking the natural beauty that surrounds us, The Backyard Bird Chronicles maps the passage of time through daily entries, thoughtful questions, and beautiful original sketches. With boundless charm and wit, author Amy Tan charts her foray into birding and the natural wonders of the world.
In 2016, Amy Tan grew overwhelmed by the state of the world: Hatred and misinformation became a daily presence on social media, and the country felt more divisive than ever. In search of peace, Tan turned toward the natural world just beyond her window and, specifically, the birds visiting her yard. But what began as an attempt to find solace turned into something far greater—an opportunity to savor quiet moments during a volatile time, connect to nature in a meaningful way, and imagine the intricate lives of the birds she admired.

Better than dove
Good smells, lathers like crazy compared to similar soaps, so you don't need to use a ton at once. Feels nice and moisturizing, idk, I'm picky and I like it.

Leaves skin clean without drying it out
I am so glad I switched over to this body wash! It lathers really well while using it and a little bit goes a long way and makes the big bottle it comes in last a long time. I also really appreciate how it comes with a pump on the bottle, which makes it easy to use and is a huge selling point for me.
I have not noticed any leftover residue on my skin after using it, and it rinses off well. My skin does not feel tight or dry after using it, which is nice because I shower daily.
It has a pleasant smell, and it isn’t super overpowering or overwhelming. It gives that “just showered” feeling and leaves you feeling nice and clean. I also like how affordable it is, and with such a big bottle I think it is worth the value of this body wash.

Rich lather and wonderful fragrance; I feel like I'm getting a high-end spa treatment
This body wash is spectacular. It has a rich lather and smells wonderful. I feel like I'm getting a spa treatment. The only negative is that if I get any suds in my eyes, it does burn a bit. Other than this I love and would order this again. I love men's body washes and saw an advertisement for this on YouTube and decided to try it. I'm definitely impressed.
The current price of $15.97 plus tax on subscribe and save is competitively priced for a 32-ounce pump bottle of body wash.

Rich, masculine, woody experience that differs from most body washes
This soap is almost meditative. Rich Woody, smoky, deep experience. Masculine. Not overly fresh, but extremely pleasant. This lathers and cleans better than most soaps. I’ve tried. I use a lot of Cremo brand products. Their soaps sud well and feel great. This one really caught me by surprise on how much I enjoyed it. If you’re tired of the normal synthetic body wash smells, give this a try.
