"I could totally appreciate what this book was trying to do: tell the tale of how a mother hummingbird built a nest on the author's patio and raised two chicks. The story is told via poetry and with some lovely drawings. There's also an explanation of how the book came about, as well as fun facts about hummingbirds. Only trouble is that the poetry wasn't always that great, and varied in style(and perspectives). Also, I found myself having to piece things together more than I probably should have had to. It's still interesting and a sweet idea, but it could have been so much better."
"A great way to introduce young ones to the world of the hummingbird, each poem follows the progress of a mother hummingbird from the day she chooses this family's ficus plant on the porch as the site for her nest, to the day her second baby leaves the next. While I didn't find anything remarkable about the poetry, I liked this creative way of chronicling an important aspect in this avian beauty's life. The soft paintings are lovely, too. Included in the back is more information on the family (mom and two young children--this is a true story) observation of the hummingbirds, and some hummingbird facts (even though I already knew most of them, I was still surprised to learn that the nest (made of grasses and spider's webs) stretches as the baby birds grow to better accommodate them!)"
"The watercolor illustrations are a beautiful accompaniment to this journal told in poems. A hummingbird nests in the potted ficus tree on the poet's patio and she and her family watch the development of the tiny birds."
