Pippa
Pippa is a little pigeon with big blue-sky ambitions: to fly solo and explore the world beyond her nest. Her parents are less than thrilled with their risk-taking feathered fledging and smother her with well-meant yet suffocating warnings until one day she ignores them all, and takes the leap into the unknown . . . alone.
Highly recommended.This beautiful story resonates with the comfort offered by home, but also allows the small pigeon leeway enough to go out exploring for herself, albeit beset by predators. Everything about this book will intrigue and delight the readers, and they will go back as I did to look again at the way the text and images fit together creating a subtle cautionary tale about leaving home.
