I just read a book with a teenager who loved birds! Also, my teen really did get into birds in high school, – I wonder if this is an author thing that’s a holdover from the pandemic? When a lot more people were stuck at home and perhaps more adults got into birding, and they decided to project it onto their middle grade and young adult characters? Anyway, thanks for the recommendations – adding some to my next library order list!
That makes a lot of sense! One book I read a couple months ago called Hummingbird was about just that— a kid who becomes interested in the hummingbirds outside his window during lockdown. 💙
So much birding in many books I’m reading! Are kids really that into it?
I’ve never met anyone in real life with a birding “life list,” least of all kids. 🤣 but yeah I’ve seen it in both kidlit and adult books!
My older daughter was really excited about birds during high school!
