Flying Jewels: A Hummingbird Story

Flying Jewels: A Hummingbird Story

by Marta Magellan /

Illustrated by Mauro Magellan

Hummingbirds exist only in the Americas. When explorers from Spain saw them for the first time, they were amazed at their iridescent plumage and called them joyas voladoras, flying jewels. Follow one of these glittering gems, a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird, as it makes its way south for a long journey to its winter home. Learn some amazing things as it travels to Mexico, encounters dangers, gets lost, and ends up in an unexpected garden in Florida.

Marta Magellan

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Marta immigrated to the U.S. at the age of seven. She fell in love with the English language by reading children’s novels and made a career out it (B.A. in English, M.A. in Theoretical Linguistics). Most of her books have been illustrated by her brother, Mauro Magellan, a musician and artist, also born in Rio.
