Rudi is my best friend. He and I made a feeder for hummingbirds out of a bottle and straw. 'They'll come for sure,' Rudi says. 'If I was a bird, I'd come.' But Rudi is sick, and Mom says he is sinking. Sinking is hard to understand. It is terrible when Rudi dies. Everyone in school wants to create something wonderful so we can remember him. We decide to build a pond next to the big knobby oak in the schoolyard. The feeder Rudi and I made hangs from the oak, and one day a special hummingbird arrives... Recommended for ages 4 to 8.
