Fly, pigeon, fly

I grew up in Glasgow. My da worked down by the docks, loading and unloading the big ships. Now and then Ma used to take me down to meet Da from work. I loved to see the ships being built and to watch them going up and down the river Clyde. Sometimes I would see an old warship; they were my favourite.

This beautiful, atmospheric book tells the true story of a touching and unusual friendship.
When a boy finds a young pigeon, half-starved, in a derelict warehouse in Glasgow, he names the pigeon Percy and takes him home. He looks after him and even teaches him to fly. Da says that Percy should be set free but the boy wants him to stay for ever…

An inspiring collaboration between first-time author John Henderson and author of THE GRUFFALO, Julia Donaldson.
