"The Little Hummingbird" is a magnificent Haida-Manga children's work based on "Flight of the Hummingbird," a tale based on a South American indigenous story about the heroic efforts of a tiny hummingbird to carry drops of water to end a forest fire. This last volume is not as large as the previous ones but that really is not a problem for me. Petit's storytelling is sharp and straightforward and immersive. OK, I wasn't paying attention when I ordered it, and didn't notice it is only 40 pages long. This book is a MUST READ for anyone interested in the history and practice of Daoist exercises. Followed the theme wonderfully. Eight stories here, all of them sweet and light hearted except for the last one which is a trifle dark. I did not like this book.

Based loosely (and unfortunately sometimes not so loosely) on her own real life observations and experiences, she puts her Maids into both a Greek Tragedy and Comedy context--really bad and really funny.
