As the title indicates, this story is about Celeste, art, inspiration, and the meaning of home. The time period is 1821 at Oakley Plantation located a short distance from New Orleans. The story is not only about Celeste and her quest for making a home, but you will get a glimpse into life and time of James John Audubon (1785-1851) and how he went about painting portraits of beautiful birds of North America. The story also includes Audubon’s 13-year-old assistant, Joseph Mason and his relationship with Celeste. This is a very charming and entertaining read. (Young Adult Middle)
