Reach for this book when your child is struggling to respect a sibling's need for space, or when an introverted child feels overwhelmed by a high energy friend.

Hector the bear loves his friend Hummingbird, but Hummingbird's constant chatter and buzzing finally drive Hector to seek isolation in the Peruvian rainforest. Through vibrant illustrations and a gentle narrative, the story explores themes of personal boundaries, the frustration of being interrupted, and the eventual realization that our favorite people are worth the noise. It is ideal for children aged 3 to 7 who are learning that saying 'I need space' is a healthy part of friendship.
