Hummingbird

Author: Nicola Davies
Illustrator: Jane Ray
Publisher: Walker

After revealing the amazing information that there are 300 different kinds of hummingbird, this book then focuses on one of them - the ruby-throated hummingbird - and makes connections with the paths of migration of these tiny creatures and of humans between Central and North America. Jane Ray’s jewel-like illustrations encourage paying close attention to detail and interact with Nicola Davies’s text which combines elements of intercultural family life with factual information about the hummingbird.

A new paperback edition publishes August 2024.
