"Great for all ages.  My grandchildren love when I read them this story about a teeny tiny bird that has a purpose in this big world.  From cover to cover, this story is amazing and the artwork is beautiful!"

"This book is beautifully done and just looks overall amazing! It's a fun read and gift for others. I never knew so much about Hummingbirds until I read this book. You can tell a lot of research has been put into the making of this book. The art is really amazing and tells the story in a creative way"

"As a homeschooling family, I am always looking for picture books to read aloud to my boys. This book has all the hallmarks: vibrant, beautiful artwork, rich text that stretches the vocabulary and truthful observations of nature that draws you into the story. This is a wonderful living book to add to your lists!"

"This is a wonderful story that teaches children that everyone has a purpose in life, barely noticeable as it may be, and that sometimes it's the little things that count (like Patrick's pollination) in helping to make the world a more beautiful place. I highly recommend this book to all young children."

"The story's meaning in this book is two-fold for children. Discovering how you may go about finding your purpose in life as well as telling about the migration patterns of these beautiful birds. I bought three of these books for grandkids and they love it! The illustrations are amazing as well. Beautiful, lively colors. Finding a children's book that is this unique among all the many children's books, is a treasure found!"

"This book is magnificent! The words are as beautiful as the pictures! I love the whole premise of the book and the purpose that it brings to each person and animal’s life! Hummingbirds are such a neat character because they bring so much joy to so many people! And, this little hummingbird teaches us so much!"

"An amazing and delightful story of a hummingbird’s journey up the coast to find his purpose.  It reminds us that we each share an important part in God’s creation and nature; that we all have our own purpose."

"I thoroughly enjoyed reading this delightful story to my children.  I love the descriptive language that allows them to visualize the story as I read it. They especially love stories with pictures and sat mesmerized picking out different details as I read to them. It has an encouraging message that teaches children (and reminds adults) that God has a purpose for every life.” 

"The book and illustrations are a charming way to start a conversation with your children or students about being different and the purpose each one of us has in life.  There's the saying that "life's a marathon, not a sprint" and I think this book also shows children that sometimes we must have many experiences before we understand our purpose.  What I liked about Patrick's story is that the main character is open to the journey he is about to go on without knowing exactly why he must do it.  These are very important lessons, but challenging concepts to explain to children and this book does it flawlessly!"

"This is a wonderful book that tells the story of God's circle of life. We each have a purpose, and to see a small hummingbird fulfill his gives us an example for our children to enjoy. Patrick's Purpose is a splendid addition to your child's library."
