Riassunto:

Meet Emma the Hummingbird and her babies! Learn about how she builds her nest, lays her eggs and takes care of her babies until they leave the nest! Magnificent photographs! Educational and fun for any age! This is a heartwarming story that is sure to touch the hearts of children as well as those reading with them, with enlightening, amazing photographs taken personally by the author to delight you along the way. Emma the Hummingbird first became famous worldwide, after after nest was broadcast live on the Internet in 2010. In the first year alone, she'd had over one million viewers from 78 different countries and been featured in newspapers and television news nationwide. There have been countless personal testimonies received and documented about Emma and her nest. She has changed more lives than we’ll ever know. Her nest making, egg-laying, hatching and babies have been streamed since 2010 in children’s wings of hospitals, provided comfort to military service people home from duty, provided learning to students in the classroom, and Emma’s nest has brought tranquility to those receiving cancer treatments in medical facilities. A whole classroom of second graders in Arizona even had a math test postponed when the birds began to fledge (leave the nest) during their test! Emma's once-in-a-lifetime story with one particular clutch (with an orphan named "Hope" placed into it for surrogate care by Emma) provided adopted children/adults a special connection. Foster parents have had a perfect tool to use while watching Emma’s nest with the children in their foster care, and also made history and an insight into hummingbird surrogacy. Researchers and hummingbird rehabilitators watched and took note worldwide. Be on the lookout for the next book in this serious, due to be released in 2012 - "I'm A Baby Hummingbird - The story of HOPE."

Emma became recognized worldwide in newspapers, television and most recently by Cornell University's NestCam program.
