A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Praise for "Hector and Hummingbird"
*"Frith has created a visually stunning work, and young readers who look closely will find a forest teeming with wildlife hidden in plain sight. The tale is simple and universal, the setting is fresh, and it all works. Lovely." -- "Kirkus Reviews," starred review
*"Frith, in a terrific debut, writes with a light touch and an astute ear, making what could have been a familiar odd couple story feel fresh and new. Most impressive of all is his artwork: rendered in a gorgeously florid palette of brown, pink, turquoise, and olive, it evokes both midcentury illustration and vintage barkcloth." -- "Publishers Weekly," starred review
"Marvelous screen-print-style illustrations are shot through with green, turquoise, and bright pink, bringing energy and a playfulness to the Peruvian jungle Hector and Hummingbird call home. Readers will connect with Hector's frustration over being pestered, and won over by Hummingbird's enthusiastic take on friendship." --"Booklist"
