This delightful little story tells of a young girl's time with her
grandmother as she relates to a legend of Where Hummingbirds Come
From. Grandmother explains the magic waters and the beauty of this
tiny bird. Where Hummingbirds Come From may well become an all-time
children's classic and a perfect book for the young reader. As well
as a wonderful study guide for English as a second language
students. According to Wikipedia, "Luganda or Ganda, is the major
language of Uganda, spoken by over sixteen million Ganda and other
people mainly in Southern Uganda, including the capital Kampala. It
belongs to the Bantu branch of the Niger-Congo language family.
Typologically, it is a highly agglutinating language with
subject-verb-object word order and nominative-accusative
morphosyntactic alignment. With about seven million
first-language-speakers in the Buganda region and about ten million
others with a working knowledge, it is the most widely spoken
Ugandan language, and as second language it follows English and
precedes Swahili. The language is used in some primary schools in
Buganda as pupils begin to learn English, the primary official
language of Uganda. Until the 1960s, Ganda was also the official
language of instruction in primary schools in Eastern Uganda.
Uganda, officially the Republic of Uganda, is a landlocked country
in East Africa. Uganda is bordered on the east by Kenya, on the
north by South Sudan, on the west by the Democratic Republic of the
Congo, on the southwest by Rwanda, and on the south by Tanzania.
The southern part of the country includes a substantial portion of
Lake Victoria, being also shared by Kenya and Tanzania." I would
like to thank Moses Bulamu for his hard work and dedication to the
translation of my children's books into his native language.

by the majority of the population in Finland (92% as of 2006) and
by ethnic Finns outside Finland. It is one of the two official
languages of Finland and an official minority language in Sweden.
In Sweden, both standard Finnish and Meankieli, a Finnish dialect,
are spoken. Finnish is spoken by about five million people who
reside mainly in Finland. There are also notable Finnish-speaking
minorities in Sweden, Norway, Russia, Estonia, Brazil, Canada, and
the United States. The majority of the population of Finland,
90.37% as of 2010, speak Finnish as their first language. The
remainder speak Swedish (5.42%), Sami (Northern, Inari, Skolt) and
other languages. It has achieved some popularity as a second
language in Estonia." Creations by Crouch was fortunate to find a

between 7 and 13 main regional groups of Chinese (depending on
classification scheme), of which the most spoken, by far, is
Mandarin with about 850 million speakers. The Chinese language has
over 1 million speakers in the United States. Romanization is the
process of transcribing a language into the Latin script. There are
many systems of Romanization for the Chinese languages due to the
lack of a native phonetic transcription until modern times. Chinese
is first known to have been written in Latin characters by Western
Christian missionaries in the 16th century. Today the most common
Romanization standard for Standard Chinese is Hanyu Pinyin. The
entire Chinese character corpus since antiquity comprises well over
20,000 characters, of which only roughly 10,000 are now commonly in
use. However Chinese characters should not be confused with Chinese
words; since most Chinese words are made up of two or more
different characters, there are many times more Chinese words than
there are characters. Our translator, Bin Hu, brings a range of
culturally nuanced vocabulary from his unique life experiences to
his translations. He was raised in old Beijing and worked in the
professional capital. Due to his diverse life experience, he
understands a range of Chinese from formal classic Mandarin to
street slang. He has replicated his rural-urban mix of lifestyles
in the U.S., living in Arizona ranching country and Washington,
D.C. This range of lifestyles has gifted him with an equal range of
vocabularies, situational terms, and phrases in both languages and
cultures. Thank you Bin for your willingness to help us bring
children's books to Chinese speakers. As well as including the
Pinyin in your translations.
