Her teenage son, Yeats, is just beginning high school. Yeats has always struggled against the system, against the pressure to conform. He is a poet at heart: acutely sensitive, highly intelligent, and solitary by nature. Lynn and Yeats have always been close, but after fourteen years as a stay-at-home mom Lynn is going back to work for her husband, Ben, who has just opened his own bookstore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Lynn and Yeats take a trip to Vancouver Island, they discover a mutual love of bird watching. Lynn is the only other person Yeats has found who loves nature and watching birds. Plus, she has a car. Lynn describes in wondrous detail the many trips she and Yeats take, from the Wye Marsh and Pelee Island in Ontario, to Vancouver Island in British Columbia, to an ill-fated trip to the Galapagos Islands. The two grow closer with each bird-watching expedition. At the same time, Lynn notices that her son is beginning to pull away -- and she must learn to let go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBirding with Yeats\u003c\/em\u003e is a delicate, sensitive, and gentle reflection on the unique bond between a mother and son, and the magic that is the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lynn Thomson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 177089389X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770893894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e House of Anansi Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2014 pg. 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2014 pg. 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/04\/2014","brand":"Lynn Thomson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979639947519,"sku":"9781770893894","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_61ad5009-4628-4624-b932-637cea5e625f.jpg?v=1683246331","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/birding-with-yeats-lynn-thomson-9781770893894","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
