Is your child fascinated by hummingbirds? If you and your family have watched hummingbirds in the garden for any length of time, you'll notice that these tiny, acrobatic birds fight a lot! They are very territorial and once they've claimed a garden or a feeder as their own, they don't want any other hummingbirds to come near it. This children's picture book in Kindle format, The Hummingbird and His Garden, is a story about a beautiful hummingbird that claimed a garden and fought off all the other hummingbirds. Once he did that, there was no one left to admire him. His life becomes peaceful, but unexciting. Then, something happens that changes his world. Along the way, he learns about true beauty. We won't spoil it by telling you what happens. If you loved Aesop's fables or stories by Hans Christian Andersen when you were a child, then you'll love sharing the universal truth told in this picture storybook by Marilee Joy Mayfield. The enchanting illustrations by artist Anne Moore will take you to the hummingbird's special garden as you share this lyrical story with your child.
