Perfect Pigeons

One plucky pigeon dares to fly against the flock in this brightly illustrated, laugh-out-loud picture book about embracing the things that make us different.

A colorful flock of pigeons pride themselves on their perfect unity. All except one: a bespectacled pigeon who is happiest doing its own thing.

While the flock all looks the same, this pigeon enjoys wearing cowboy boots. While the flock flies in perfect formation, this pigeon soars like a superhero. When the flock finally confronts their contrary friend, they learn a thing or two about true perfection—and that we don’t all have to be the same to belong together.

“Pithy text and bright, humorous illustrations … Feather your nest with this book.”

“A fun and sweet story about fitting in and choosing to go against the grain. It will … serve many teachers and parents alike who are looking for jumping-off points to talk about individuality.”
