Descriere Flight of the Hummingbird: A Parable for the Environment - Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas

\n \nA beautifully drawn comic book inspired by Japanese manga and Indigenous art and legend\n \nThis powerful story about a brave hummingbird shares a message of environmental stewardship\n \nHummingbirds have long been a symbol of wisdom and courage. In this breathtaking book, a hummingbird makes a valiant effort to put out a raging fire that threatens her forest home. She makes many trips over the burning woodland because her tiny beak can only hold one drop of water at a time. Her efforts show the other creatures in the forest that doing something--anything--is better than doing nothing at all. Will they join her in her fight to save their home?\n \nThe hummingbird parable, which originates with the Quechuan people of South America, has become a talisman for environmentalists and activists worldwide committed to making meaningful change. This retelling, enlivened by Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas' fabulous Haida-Manga illustrations, is suitable for all ages of would-be activists. Although environmental responsibility often seems like an overwhelming task, The Flight of the Hummingbird shows how easy it is to start and how great the effect could be if everyone just did what they could.\n
