About the Book

A Parisian pigeon passionate about people makes a new friend – with gentle themes of community and inclusivity. Hugo the pigeon has an important job. He looks after the park and everyone who lives there. Everyone except for the Somebody whose curtains are never open. But one day, Hugo is so busy doing his showing-off dance that he doesn't see the dog approaching ... and Somebody has to fly to the rescue! A charming story about community and the value of friendship, beautifully brought to life by Birgitta Sif's energetic illustrations.

Review :
With themes of community and the value of friendship, this book is beautifully brought to life by enchanting and warm illustrations. A lovely story for those looking to introduce little ones to subtle themes of inclusivity in the place that they live. Perfect to discuss emotions such as shyness, compassion and loneliness, this heart-warming picture book beautifully celebrates the power of friendship. Full of detail and gentle humour the luminous illustrations add additional depth to the narrative. This picturebook with sweet illustrations in dreamy colours tells the warm story of a friendship between a little Parisian girl and a park-warden pigeon, Hugo. Hugo is such a wonderful story, with equally beautiful illustrations, showing children that friends can be found all over and with all kinds of people. It shows that it’s good to reach out to the people around you and the importance of community. I think now more than ever that’s a really strong message. A sweet picture book that tells a warm story about caring for others.
