The Remarkable Pigeon

A thought-provoking picture book that will enchant children and teach them the importance of not always comparing oneself to others and appreciating what one has.

When a pigeon visits the aviary, he feels inferior to all of the other species of birds he encounters, with their colourful plumage and magnificent wingspans. But eventually the pigeon realises that he has something the other birds don’t – his freedom!
