Hummingbirds are fascinating little birds. When first seen, we sometimes think they're big insects. But no! They are part of the pollinating work force in our world. They pollinate with their long bills, eat insects, and generally add a 'wonder' aspect to our day, if we happened to see one. This children's story is about a species of hummingbird called Rufous. A fiesty little thing, these birds travel far north in their migration each year. Rufous hummingbirds have a purpose. I hope you'll choose to read Patrick's story to your young person. Be sure and reinforce that, big or small, we all have a purpose!
