The Legend of the Little Sunbird is an original version recorded for the African Folktales Project- www.africanfolktalesproject.com. An older version of this story can be traced all over South America, in tribes that are of Afro descent, and in that story the main character is a hummingbird. However, hummingbirds are not found in Africa, but the closest species in relation is a sunbird, that functions in the same way as a hummingbird. These tiny birds are highly specialized in pollination and are critical for the continued diversification of African flora and fauna. This story commemorates this year's Earth Day (April 22, 2021) and is aligned with the following sustainable development goals- SDG 13, SDG 15, SDG 17. Please check them out to learn more about what each individual can do to improve life on our planet for all of us and everything else in it. Our story concludes with a special djembe solo production, performed by a young boy who is passionate about traveling and discovering the world. We hope that this story will inspire more children to work together and become active citizens of the world, mindful of the impact that their individual choices make at home, in their communities, in their countries, and in our world.
