About this book

A Nest for Celeste follows Celeste, a mouse searching for a home. The story explores whether home might be found in a warm boot, a shirt pocket, or within the bonds of friendship. Set in the 1800s, the novel tells of Celeste's friendship with the young apprentice of John James Audubon. Through hundreds of black-and-white illustrations, readers encounter a narrative about nineteenth-century plantation life and learn about Audubon, the naturalist known for his paintings of birds and American wildlife. Intended for middle-grade readers, the book combines storytelling with historical detail.
