Publisher Description:

Ernest Hummingbird is the heartwarming story of a young hummingbird who wants to sing and not just hum. Pursuing this dream takes Ernest and his two best friends on a journey of anticipation, wonder, and occasionally, disappointment.
Throughout, it's the music that guides them along their way. Through plenty of persistence, Ernest and his friends get their break and find themselves on the big stage.
To his parents' delight, Ernest lives his dream of singing on TV, proving that if there's a will, there's a way. It's a beautiful story of art imitating life...or maybe it's the other way around
