Inhaltsangabe:

This empowering picture book celebrates the idea that every one of us -- from the smallest to the largest -- has something to offer, and if we all work together, we can make the world a better, greener place.

When a fire starts near their home, all of the animals—from the largest elephant to the smallest ant—are too scared to do anything but watch. All, that is, except for one tiny hummingbird. She knows she must do something to save her nest. She must do what she can.

This simple, poignant fable, featuring Caldecott Medalist Jerry Pinkney’s final illustrations—completed after his death by his son, Brian Pinkney, also an award-winning illustrator—reminds us that we all have the power to change the world, no matter how little we may be.
