Robert Bateman: The Boy Who Painted Nature

40 pp. | Orca | November, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-1-45981-992-4 $29.95 | Ebook ISBN 978-1-45981-993-1
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Robert Bateman. This straightforward biography of a Canadian nature artist will be of regional interest. Illustrated entirely with Bateman's own snapshots, sketches, and paintings, the book foregrounds a childhood spent outdoors and his work depicting diverse plants and animals. Although the still-living artist's personal journey feels unremarkable, his masterful photorealistic paintings of polar bears, puffins, and the like make for a visually absorbing picture book.
