About the Author

Robert Bateman is an award-winning, internationally admired naturalist painter. He has lived on Saltspring Island, BC, since 1985. His artistic interest in the natural world is mirrored in his support for a variety of environmental causes and in 1998 the US National Audubon Society named him one of the 20th century's 100 Champions of Conservation. He collaborated with his son Christopher Bateman on the cover of Return of the Osprey.

Editorial Review

p class=review_text>Robert Bateman's ability to render snow, lichen and the sunlight on water is whatnon-artists think of as 'magic' . . . His illustrations are superb, and I heartily endorse his sales pitch: 'Every adult who knows a child, go out into nature with that child once every weekend.' —Times Colonist
