Synopsis

"Long ago when the world was new..." Thus begins the story of the small bird who, upon opening his eyes for the first time, discovers that his home is an island filled with color. Only when he notices his reflection in a creek does the little animal see with dismay that his own feathers are dull. Toa, Mother-of-All-Things, has painted everything on the island, but the bird has been forgotten. Using her magic, Toa agrees to make him as beautiful as his surroundings.The bird becomes the first hummingbird, and a very special one: the Bee Hummingbird – the smallest bird in the world. It is found only on the island of Cuba where it is known by the nickname of ‘zunzuncito.’In this original story created in the style of a ‘pourquoi’ tale, author Silvia López recalls the legends of the Taínos, natives who inhabited the Caribbean when Columbus arrived in the New World. Verónica Cabrera’s illustrations perfectly capture the beauty of the island that is home to the unique, tiny Bee Hummingbird.
