A Hummingbird's Story: How I Came to Be

"A Hummingbird's Story: How I Came to Be" provides you and your child the opportunity to witness one of nature's miracles. Samantha, a young female Costa hummingbird, shares her story of how "she came to be." This tiny bird tells her own story of how she pecked her way into this world and then learned the lessons needed to survive outside the nest. In her delightful manner, Samantha begins by introducing her parents and then describing her home, the nest that her mother so painstakingly constructed. New vocabulary words are introduced and defined. Imaginations stretch as children ponder thought- provoking "Did you know?" facts. Written by an educator, "A Hummingbird's Story: How I Came to Be" combines science content, real photographs taken of the event, and simulated narration by the hummingbird herself to make this book a vital addition to a child's or teacher's bookshelf. Parents, teachers, librarians, and especially children will witness the beginning of this tiny bird's life as though they were there in person.
