‘I’m a Hummingbird, I Hum by Joanna Skipwith is a beautiful and unusual mix of fact and frivolity. It is about birds, with beguiling, witty verses and an invitation to children to illustrate it themselves (with blank pages for the purpose). It’s already adorned with children’s delightful attempts at doing this (my favourite, by a feather, is the bandy-legged flamingo in a tutu).’
