In the opening scene of this brilliant book, Granny feeds ruby-throated hummingbirds with her visiting granddaughter somewhere in Central America. After the girl returns to North America she writes to Granny, sharing news of the hummingbirds who've found their way to Central Park to nest. (Miller Library Staff)
