The philosophy of Little Pigeon Books is to not to judge a book by its cover.
Pigeons are often viewed as a nuisance and not an animal that is respected or valued. They are plain looking birds with gnarly feet. Put yourself in a pigeon’s shoes and look up at the world around you. Now think about all the amazing ways pigeons have helped us and why they should be valued.
Did you know that pigeons played an incredibly important role in both world wars due to their remarkable homing abilities and reliable flight patterns. Pigeons were used as message carriers, transporting critical information across dangerous battlefields where human couriers or radio were often impractical or unreliable.
In the same way, Little Pigeon Books aim to deliver messages of hope and share stories that educate, entertain and elevate through written word for children and adults alike.
“Little Pigeon Books carry messages of hope, with children, our future, at the heart of every story.”
With each story, Little Pigeon Books create opportunities to explore real life challenges, providing a safe space to have open conversations with children. Through sharing stories, we want help children develop emotional intelligence and feel respected, valued, and understood.
In a world that is fast and so much entertainment online or digital, Little Pigeon Books will provide a quiet space for children and their families to spend quality time and be entertained through the power of the word and through beautiful illustrations.
Each story has been written from the heart and matched with an illustrator to fit the style and flow of the story. Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of communication and art, woven deeply into the history and culture of civilisations worldwide. For centuries, it has been used not only to entertain but also to teach values and pass down knowledge from one generation to the next.
Little Pigeon Books strive to educate children through storytelling. To educate children to be strong, emotionally resilient, independent thinkers. To educate children to value one another and the world they live in. To educate children that kindness, love and respect are values we should all have and show to others. To educate children to value difference and embrace being unique.
Little Pigeon Books aim to elevate topics that people may find it more difficult to approach and to normalise engaging children in tricky conversations to empower them to explore, understand and verbalise their experiences of the world.
