Book of the day > Vogels Huilen Niet (Birds Don't Cry): Anjes Gesink. Lecturis. "Portraying birds in need at the Vogelklas Karel Schot bird sanctuary in Rotterdam, this book depicts a motley collection of all types, from starlings to swans. A blue-gloved hand, present in almost every picture, both symbolizes the care the birds get and refers to the human impact on their lives in the city. Directly or indirectly, each was put in a difficult situation by people, and now people are helping their recovery. Since 2012, photographer Anjès Gesink has volunteered at the sanctuary. Collaborating with André de Baerdemaeker, urban ecologist and sanctuary chairman, she tells a story of resilience and hope."
