Join humming heroine “M” and her humming companions —bees, hummingbirds, dragonflies, and butterflies –as they gather for a humming circle around the honeysuckle bush. A story for children of all ages— and most especially those who love nature, music, dancing and hugs—Hmmm – M the Humdinger teaches how love and friendships grow when we learn to celebrate one another’s differences. Inspired by a writing workshop with renowned children’s author Sheree Fitch, note that all the author’s illustrations —even the bees and butterflies and hummingbirds (!) — are fashioned from dried wildflowers and leaves, or “the botanical arts. ” Also includes an introduction explaining the many health benefits of humming.
