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.
