About the Book
"The Hummingbird Project is a simple way to instill a sense of wonder about the world around us. The book features engaging natural science stories linked to eco-friendly craft projects that help children get their hands on nature and creative materials"--Book Synopsis
The Hummingbird Project: Creating from Scratch comes from the Native American legend of the hummingbird that inspired Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. She launched the Green Belt movement which has replanted millions of trees to stop the desertification of Kenya. The Hummingbird fights alone against a huge forest fire, the other animals watch him fly from the river to the forest with a drop of water in his little beak. To the animals that mock him, the hummingbird answers... "I do my best". The ambition of the Hummingbird Project is similar: to create from an object to be recycled, to do one's best, to offer oneself a break during which the hands find their first role of creation.
Review Quotes
Neither artistic business, nor communication. It's about the pleasure of imagining, assembling and creating. It's about the journey inside oneself and the communion with one's surroundings...
Jean Jacques Beaussou, Former Ambassador of France to Peru
