Description

Lyrical text and gorgeous illustrations take flight in this exploration of the tiny, gorgeous hummingbirds and its astonishing abilities.

Hummingbirds are tiny and pretty, so you might find yourself taking them for granted. But these little birds are remarkable, fierce, and talented. In Behold the Hummingbird, readers will learn about species that can hover like a helicopter, fly backwards and upside down, and consume half their body weight in a single day.”Working in pastel, colored pencil, and airbrush, Gonzalez realistically pictures the birds. . . .”—Publishers WeeklySuzanne Slade, a Sibert Honor-winning author, has written over one hundred and fifty children’s books.
