The Yellow Hummer is the story of a 4-year-old boy who lives in a multi-generational family headed by a single mother. He is given a Christmas gift of a yellow toy hummer. It is a toy that he is very excited about but before he has a chance to play with his new toy something terrible happens to the toy and that leaves him very sad. The story of how this little boy deals with his emotion makes for good reading. This book is a good soft tool that can be used to open the window for children to see that they are not alone in facing disappointments-other children go through this too.
