“From the New York Times bestselling author of A Snicker of Magic and six other award-winning children’s books, Hummingbird is a heartfelt story about a girl with her trusty, snazzy wheelchair who refuses to let her brittle bone disease stand in the way of adventure. Hummingbird is A Schneider Family Book Award Honor Book, given to this middle grade novel for excellence in portraying the disability experience.”
Author Natalie Lloyd shared, “My disability informs how I move through my daily life and the world, and how I exist in my body. It’s only one part of the big constellation of my life, but it’s still a part. So we do have that Big Thing in common, my heroine and I.”
