Audubon: The Dream That Wouldn’t Die by Sharon Delarose
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 186 KB
Overview: Does the name “Audubon” make you think of birds? If so, then no one would be more surprised than bird man John James Audubon himself, who feared that he would die unknown.
Today his name is recognized all around the world, but during his own lifetime he was just another man with a dream that nobody wanted to support. His dream was to publish a series of bird books which featured his life-like bird sketches, so that all the world could know birds as he did.
People told him he wasn’t good enough. They cheated him, ignored him, and did everything in their power to discourage him. In spite of the obstacles he pushed forward, sometimes working in temperatures so cold that his fingers could barely hold a pencil to draw. He slept outdoors on the ground when he couldn’t afford to pay for lodging, and he performed gruesome and disgusting jobs to earn money.
