My thoughts: Upon opening this delightful book I saw information on the beautiful, tiny hummingbird that is perfect for the parent to read prior to reading My Tiny Life to a child. It educates the parent (or older individual who is reading to the child) enabling them to better educate the child. Wonderful!
Then the story of this tiny life begins and it takes one through the year as the hummingbird emerges and develops into an adult that migrates to its Winter home and back to its seasonal, summer home. Such a strong tiny bird and such a wonderful life.
I think children will enjoy the territorial contest between the tiny hummingbirds.

May 15: Today I poked my way out of this tiny egg.
With Mom feeding him insects and nectar, Ruby T. Hummingbird is soon able to beat his wings and fly—up, down, backward, and forward—and forage for himself. But don't be fooled! This elegant creature can turn into a fierce fighter if another hummingbird tries to feed on his flower—or his hummingbird feeder.
June 21: This flower is MINE! No you don't.
A second test of his strength comes when he migrates to a warmer climate in the fall and a cooler climate in the spring.
March 1, 5 a.m.: I'm off! Wish me luck.
Children will love poring over the bright, highly detailed illustrations and pondering ideas about nature.
The book includes a glossary and further information in the back of the book. Both art and text have been vetted for accuracy by an expert.
