From the beloved New York Times bestselling, Sibert Honor-winning author of the National Book Award finalist The Soul of an Octopus author comes a "beautiful...captivating" (Booklist, starred review) nonfiction picture book about the most exquisite and extraordinary of winged creatures-hummingbirds. The lightest birds in the sky, hummingbirds are capable of incredible feats, such as flying backwards, diving at speeds of sixty-one miles per hour, and beating their wings more than sixty times a second. The miraculous creatures are also incredibly vulnerable when they first emerge from their eggs. This book tells the story of a hummingbird's early life and how they make their way into the world.
