Summary: Hummingbirds symbolise wisdom and courage. In this inspiring story, richly illustrated by Michael Yahgulanaas, the determined little hummingbird does everything she can to put out the raging fire that threatens her forest home and demonstrates to her forest companions that doing something - anything - is better than doing nothing at all. This parable, with its origins among the Quechuan people of South America, has become a talisman for everyone who is committed to making changes for good in the world. It has launched an entire social change movement in Japan and other parts of Asia, and images of the hummingbird are used to inspire responsible action on an international scale.
