This bilingual story and song, written in clever rhyme in both English and Spanish, is about Loli, a very kind girl, who is frustrated trying to please everyone. Suddenly Colibrí, a magical hummingbird comes along to tell her about the Monteverde Cloud Forest in far away Costa Rica, where plants and animals live in harmony. Loli travels by zip line with Colibrí to Monteverde, where she encounters a Resplendent Quetzal, Mr. Blue Jean Frog, Howler Monkeys, Mama Sloth and even a friendly Tarantula, all living symbiotically amidst beautiful flora and fauna. The Message of Monteverde reveals itself as she comes to the end of her journey and Loli realizes that kindness and compassion are what matter most. Fun facts of Costa Rica and musical notation for the song are included. Bright, colorful watercolor paintings illustrate the story, bringing it to life. Within each illustration is hidden a hummingbird, which helps engage the youngest and eldest readers.
Autorenporträt
En safari dans les Réserves d'Amakhala et de Shamwari en Afrique du Sud, l'auteur Leslie Woods ressentait une profonde humilité au milieu de la sérénité et de la sagesse de la faune dans son habitat naturel. Elle a rappelé instantanément son joue d'enfance avec des animaux en papier. Madame Woods, épouse, mère, professeur d'espagnol et de français, chanteuse et compositrice, chérira toujours ces jours magiques en Afrique du Sud.
