Do pigeons plus people have to equal problems?The erudite big-city pigeon Dr. Archibald Coo is tired of the way people treat him and his pigeon friends. They're always being shooed and swatted, and they're never admired the way the other birds are. But it wasn't always this way. Pigeons once delivered news of the Olympic Games throughout ancient Greece and medicines to soldiers on battlefields. They were heroes! Dr. Coo resolves to find a way for pigeons to once again get the admiration they deserve. But can it be done?Pigeons unite! It's time to teach the people a lesson in peacemaking. - Grand Central Pub
>Award-winning journalist Sarah Hampsonâs picture book debut is a celebration of the diversity inherent in a big city and a lesson on how looking for the good in others is the best way to get along with them. Through her activist pigeons, she offers a child-friendly example of how to affect change, and shows how cooperation and compromise are the keys for diverse groups to harmoniously coexist â a topical subject. With soft lines and a warm palette, Kass Reichâs illustrations bring a fresh pigeonâs-eye perspective to New Yorkâs inhabitants and cityscapes. This book could be used to spark classroom discussions on respecting differences, working out disagreements, or stepping up to counter injustice, all important subjects for the budding self-awareness and personal development of young children. It also aligns with character education lessons on self-respect, initiative and inclusiveness.
