Sy Montgomery, the award-winning bestselling author, tells the story of the hummingbird's early life and how the babies make their way into the world, sometimes with the help of a wildlife rehabilitator like herself.
Hummingbirds are among the most exquisite and extraordinary of winged creatures. The lightest birds in the sky, hummingbirds are capable of incredible feats, such as flying backwards, diving at speeds of sixty-one miles per hour, and beating their wings more than sixty times a second. The miraculous creatures are also incredibly vulnerable when they first emerge from their eggs. The book is filled with beautiful and detailed illustrations by Tiffany Bozic.
Hardcover for ages 4-8.
