I was referred to and purchased this book while visiting (Scottsdale) Phoenix on business for my 4 year old niece. This book makes great reading for pre school children, in that (certainly in my niece's case who had no idea what a humming bird was!) it was educational, beautifully illustrated and written in a style and format which lends itself well to both bed time story telling and actually learning as she develops her own reading skills.
I would also stress the feel good factor of the story, this book contains an important message for young people faced with their first challenges.
From my point of view whilst reading it aloud, the art work evokes fond memories of the rugged beauty of the book's setting.
This has become a firm favourite in my niece's growing library!

Beautiful illustrations and perfect for children's
storytime

My family and I have truly enjoyed this book. Younger children
identify with Hank trying to 'catch up' to his older sister. We especially
enjoyed discussing that these are pictures of real hummingbirds. I highly
recommend this book for young children.
