Newbery Medal winner Cynthia Rylant's 100 plus children's books have garnered numerous honors, including the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award. One day, Annie and Henry-together with their furry friends Snowball and Mudge-see a beautiful hummingbird. It's darting and hovering near Annie's flowers-especially the pink petunias. They love watching it each day. But they wonder how they can encourage their tiny visitor to return after the sweet-smelling blooms wither and die.
