Robert Bateman: The Boy Who Painted Nature tells the story of a young Canadian boy who fell in love with the natural world surrounding him. That fueled his other interest: painting, and a beautiful marriage was formed. Although a picture book, the language is rich, and pairs well with the beautiful paintings of the book's namesake. I loved that the photographs of Mr. Bateman were also included. They gave a personal touch and only enhanced the story.
