This inspiring children’s book is based on a South American indigenous story about a courageous hummingbird who defies fear and expectations in her attempt to save the forest from fire. The illustrated story is supplemented by a natural and cultural history of hummingbirds, as well as an inspiring message from Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai. The evocative artwork by internationally renowned Haida artist Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas complements this optimistic tale that encourages everyone to take responsibility for their home and the planet.

很喜欢这种原住民风格的绘画,看来全世界不管什么文化,都有类似愚公移山精卫填海这样的故事。蜂鸟在北美的古老传说中有很多含义,其中之一就是据说能带来雨水,这也是这个故事的重要背景吧。
