HECTOR AND HUMMINGBIRD
First published by Alison Green Books (an imprint of Scholastic UK)
Editor: Alison Green / Art Director: Zoë Tucker
Deep in the mountains of Peru an unlikely friendship unfolds, between a noisy hummingbird and a bear who just wants to find some peace and quiet.
But when Hector (the bear) stomps off to be alone, he soon finds out that life isn't quite the same without his noisy friend.
An odd couple story that takes in the old adage, “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.”
