      Robert Bateman: The Boy Who Painted Nature is a beautiful biography, geared to children but could be read by anyone. It tells the story of the famous Canadian artist beginning as a young boy who fell in love with the natural world surrounding him. He loved to observe nature, study its shapes, textures and colours and then reproduce what he say in his sketchbook, and finally painting it. His paintings are so realistic that they look like actual photographs. The illustrations are all photographs of his sketches and paintings, which gave a personal touch to the story. I loved that they showed him passing on his love of nature to his children and grandchildren. This would be a wonderful book to introduce a Canadian Artist to a class, as well as a unit on sketching and painting nature. A beautiful book. The publisher, Orca Book Publishers, provided me with a copy of this book to read. The rating, ideas and opinions are my own.
