Amy Tan shared her new book, The Backyard Bird Chronicles (Knopf)--a nature journal she wrote and illustrated--at an event to benefit Sausalito Books by the Bay's nonprofit, Literacy by the Bay. Tan, who lives in Sausalito, was joined in conversation by Jack Dumbacher, chief ornithologist at the California Academy of Science in San Francisco; artist Tiffany Bozic, who most recently illustrated Sy Montgomery's Brave Baby Hummingbird; and Sausalito Books by the Bay owner Cheryl Popp. More than 100 patrons enjoyed a wine-tasting and an elegant tea party at a private residence in addition to the special presentation.
