Meet Paolo Piccione, one of the famous pigeons of St. Mark’s Square!

Venice is a magnificent city, especially if you’re a pigeon. Not only do the people of Venice feed the birds, but tourists lay birdy banquets at their feet! However, Paolo, oh little Paolo, he yearns to be more than just a pigeon… This beautifully illustrated, lyrical story tells the tale of Paolo, a prince among pigeons who wants to be human, and the grand adventure that leads him to realize it is silly to long to be something he is not.
