Tickle the Color-Blind Hummingbird: Book #1 in the Series: Tickle the Hummingbird and His Garden Friends

Tickle the Color-Blind Hummingbird: Book #1 in the Series: Tickle the Hummingbird and His Garden Friends

A mishap leaves Tickle, the hummingbird temporarily color-blind. Hummingbirds look for colors and shapes when they hunt for food. Your child will giggle at Tickle when he tries to find food in the most unusual places. I wake up in the night with a story on my mind; I laugh at my grandchildren's antics;  I share funny things that have happened to myself and my family;  I look at a flower and see how I would draw and paint it;  I do research about God's creation to satisfy my curiosity; I recognize the importance of children being taught family values and faith morals.  How do I put all of these things together?   I'll Write a Children's Book! My stories are fiction and the characters whimsical and fictional, but often based on true incidents in the lives of our family members.  If I name a flower in the story, then I paint it realistically.  I include a lesson in hopes that children will understand it and "live" it. What a wonderful adventure it has been.  I love it so much I am on my 5th book in the Series:  Tickle the Hummingbird and His Garden Friends.  Four books are written and two are published as of this date.  I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing and illustrating it. Grandma Lynn Helwig was a pastor's wife for thirty-seven years and is now a grandmother of eleven. She laughs about incidents that have happened in her family and creates stories and illustrations so she can share the laughs with her grandchildren.
