Bookroo's summary

In the heart of Paris, a mother pigeon nurtures her hatchlings until they're ready to fly. Petite, the youngest, is paralyzed by fear as her siblings take to the skies. With her family's support, she faces her fears, stumbles, and rises again. Will Petite find the courage to spread her wings and discover her inner strength? This tale of bravery and resilience unfolds against the backdrop of the City of Light, where a little pigeon learns that true flight begins with a leap of faith.

From the publisher

When mother pigeon arrives in Paris she knows it’s the perfect place to call home–for a while. She makes her nest and lays her eggs and, when her babies hatch, nurtures them until they’re strong enough to take flight. But as little Petite watches her brother and sister take off, she determines she is too scared and simply will not fly. With her family’s encouragement she finally tries–and falls–and tries again. And learns an important lesson about fear, failure, and inner strength that will carry her throughout her high-flying life.
