The book includes extra features - fact pages on hummingbirds and a wonderful author's note that reveals how Mrs. Gehman came up with the idea for her book. Study author's craft - use of metaphor, onomatopoeia, proper nouns for specificity, wrap around ending, and writing through a mask - with this beautifully illustrated picture book on one of nature's most fascinating creatures.
