The Hummingbirds' Gift: Wonder, Beauty, and Renewal on Wings

The hummingbird is one of the most incredible creatures in the world. With wings that beat more than 60 times a second, and the ability to dive at more than 60 miles per hour and to fly backwards, these birds are one of a kind. But when they first emerge from their eggs, they're very fragile and vulnerable, susceptible to all kinds of environmental factors and predators alike. That's where Brenda Sherburn comes in. In this true story, author Sy Montgomery documents Sherburn's efforts to rescue sick or injured hummingbirds and nurse them back to health. With gorgeous photographs and beautiful writing, Montgomery brings the reader into Sherburn's world. Any lover of birds will appreciate this moving tale.
