“Those who are not afraid to act, and who are aware of what is at stake, can make the biggest difference.”
The actual story is very short, of the hummingbird, and beautifully illustrated. It is sweet and I deeply believe it should be made into a children’s book if it’s not already.
It’s a story about a hummingbird doing what it can in a time of crisis as other animals watch in fear, preventing themselves from doing what they can. Although the hummingbirds contribution was small, it still increased the likelihood of success and that if all the animals did what they could, the chance of success would likely increase.

Okay, so this was faster than fast. Beautiful art, though and a nice re-telling of a story. Couldn't escape the feeling that I have read this story before.

This fable of the hummingbird helping in spite of overwhelming odds, inspires us to try to make a difference in the world even if it is a small difference. I love this quote: "Self-confidence and enthusiasm are the keys to a successful life and to success any activity one is engaged in. We must be determined and have an optimistic outlook." p. 48

A parable for the environment - indeed, we need to all be like the small hummingbird, doing what we can.

A simple book about everyone's ability to change the world for the better. Very nice.
