The island nation of Cuba is full of amazing animals. One of the most fascinating is the tiny bee hummingbird, also called the zunzuncito. I was inspired by this little hummingbird and, with some motivation from my students, I wrote a short novel called “Zunzuncito’s Adventure”. For this third season of Simple Stories in English, I will be sharing a chapter from the novel each week.

This story is told in the the present tense. Repeated words and phrases include bird, hummingbird, frog, and flower. No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way. You can find a transcript of the story and read along at https://smalltownspanishteacher.com/2026/01/14/zunzuncitos-adventure/ 

Zunzuncito’s Adventure is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle formats : https://a.co/d/jlljj4V
