From internationally renowned Haida artist Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas comes an inspiring picture book for kids 5-8 about a courageous hummingbird who defies fear and expectations to save her forest home.
The great forest is on fire, and the terrified animals are fleeing for their lives. But not the little hummingbird. While the others watch, the brave little bird flies to the stream and back, over and over, each time carrying a single drop of water to put on the fire.
Based on a South American Indigenous story, The Little Hummingbird features:
- Stunning artwork in Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas’ iconic style
- An inspiring afterword from Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai
- Scientific and cultural facts about hummingbirds
This evocative and uplifting tale encourages everyone to take responsibility for their home and the planet.
