"Once upon a time there were two beautiful hummingbirds named Calliope and Rufus..."
The Hungry Hummingbird is a story about a family of hummingbirds who migrate from Denver to Mexico every year and their adventurous baby hummingbird Harpita. Harpita is very inquisitive and very hungry and spends her first summer in Denver exploring as many yards and feeders as she can find. When Harpita finds that her family has left for Mexico without her, she has to rely on a little blonde girl to keep her warm and feed her through the winter. Harpita anxiously waits for spring and hopes she'll be reunited with her family!
