“The sketches and words are a record of my life. They contain what puzzled me, thrilled me, what made me laugh and also grieve. They are like the scar on my knee when I was a child in nature.”
― Amy Tan, The Backyard Bird Chronicles

“I wonder if the crows were mourning their fallen member. Given so many had flown in from all directions to join the mourning (or lynch mob), the fake crow must have resembled a much-loved muckity-muck member of the tribe. Would they mourn a crow they didn’t know? Humans do. I have, for the victims of 9/11, for children shot in schools, for fictional characters no less real than a fake crow.”
― Amy Tan, The Backyard Bird Chronicles
