I love, love, love this book! It is an informative and beautiful look at the unique little hummingbird. I have always loved hummingbirds. My mother feeds them every summer. This book would be perfect for any child. Personally, I plan to use it this summer to set up hummingbird feeders with my sons and teach them about the amazing world of the hummingbirds.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a digital ARC copy of the book. This in no way impacts my review. This book is beautifully illustrated and informative for young children (and even adults, I learned quite a few new facts).

What a beautiful ode to the delicate lovelies that are hummingbirds! This was a serene, peaceful read filled with gorgeous, soft illustrations and many interesting facts about hummingbirds. I didn’t realize they could fly for nearly a day straight and over the ocean on their migration, or that their neats could be so small! It’s a gift seeing hummingbirds, truly. This was a sweet book dedicated to the precious, tiny birds we love.
