Jules, a Black teenager, is given a pair of old binoculars as he heads out for a morning of birdwatching in Central Park. He soon learns the binoculars show him a lot more than birds, and maybe they keep him safe, too.

Christian Cooper is the host and a consulting producer for the National Geographic TV series EXTRAORDINARY BIRDER. He served as president of the Harvard Ornithological Club in his college days, co-chair of the board of directors of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) in both his and that organization’s youth, a writer and editor for Marvel Comics in the 1990s, and a science editor for 20 years before taking the helm of Nat Geo’s birding show.

Currently as a vice president of New York City Audubon he advocates for greater, safer access to green spaces for all, with a focus on outreach to youth in underserved communities. Continuing his activism on issues of LGBTQ equality and racial justice, Christian combined his passions in the Black Lives Matter graphic short story "It’s a Bird” from DC Comics. He looks forward to bringing the gospel of birding to ever wider audiences through EXTRAORDINARY BIRDER and his memoir, BETTER LIVING THROUGH BIRDING, from Random House.

5.0 out of 5 stars it’s a bird it’s amazing

This book uses birds as powerful symbols of rising above threats and oppression. It teaches a real life story and pulls in current events and people and develops an interwoven story of nature and beauty in the birds. There’s just so much here!

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect graphic novel to learn from for these dark and divided times we live in.
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2020
Verified Purchase
I give this graphic novel a perfect 5 because writer Christian Cooper, through his own now-viral experience with racism while birdwatching in Central Park last May, perfectly demonstrates the struggle, bigotry and hardships that black Americans are forced to live through in 2020 just for living their lives and doing any innocent, mundane things and as well as giving us example after example of how terrifying and deadly it can and has become for so many innocent men, women and even children who are tragically no longer with us because of it.

A must-read for any comic book and graphic novel fan of all ages and as well as all of us who demand equality and justice for black lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moved me to tears
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2022

It leaves you wanting more. I absolutely am moved by the depiction of the history of the police murdering innocent people of color and it just left me feeling hopeless and dejected. Mr. Cooper endured a horrible, baseless, accusation by a woman who probably never realized she was racist, and has turned it into a teaching moment. Subscribe and read and learn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to relate to younger people.
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2020

My teen could be affected by these issues, but it's hard sometimes to keep young people engaged. They tend to feel invincible, and don't necessarily absorb a message when given by their parents. I'm a little more worried now because my teen has moved with my ex-husband, and he and his family don't understand black experiences. I worry that I'm the only one giving examples while the other family just thinks something like that wouldn't happen to my child. This series could bridge the gap.

5.0 out of 5 stars I identified with this as a birdwatcher and person of color
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2020
Verified Purchase
This comic resonated with me on two levels - as an American birdwatcher and person of color. Looking Asian, I have been angrily confronted and dissed by stupid people who think I am some kind of Chinese commie spy while birdwatching. And birdwatchers totally get the unleashed dog scenes, because many of us have had run-ins with irresponsible dog owners who ignore the no-dog signs in wilderness areas or who otherwise don't leash their dogs when required. What a wonderful comic that bridges civil rights activism and environmental awareness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Binoculars that tell the truth
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2020

We need the truth, too many people are unaware or don't care about it, but how can we have peace without it? Lies will not help us, they make us weak, insular without support or protection, and our lives will be built on thin ice. That's great, if you survive, but it's a gamble that no one should take, the odds are too high against success. Thank you, Mr. Cooper, for revealing the truth to us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Hero with a Super Message
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2020

So unlike a fantastical comic book, this is a comic book with a fantastic message concerning racial injustice. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was a short read which was long on depth and insight. Truly, a powerful comic book with a powerful message. The illustrations were eye candy . . . beautifully drawn and very artistic.
Awaiting the next edition, while I can still breathe. - Cynthia Banks, New Jersey

I don't know I havent had the chance to read this yet, but since the author was my favorite character on In the heat of the night I can't imagine it not being creative.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lacking real bite.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 11, 2020
Verified Purchase
There was a real opportunity here to make a mark, and reach young audience through this medium. I felt let down by the fact that the antagonist in the story and in real life was allowed to get away with threatening someone's civil liberties and possibly causing great harm. That said I do commend all those involved in bringing to life a story in away the young audiences can relate too.
