The Higgledy-Piggledy Pigeon

by Don M. Winn, Dave Allred (Illustrator)

Overview

The Higgledy-Piggledy Pigeon is about a young homing pigeon named Hank who is an eager new student in flight school. He does an outstanding job in school until the day of his first practice delivery, when he unexpectedly discovers that he has no sense of direction and that he will get lost every time he is sent on a mission. He is devastated…is this the end of his dreams? Nobody else in class has this problem! It’s so easy for them not to get lost. Maybe he should just quit. But a kind teacher shows him how he can compensate for his problem and still succeed. This story is about how everyone learns in different ways, and how anyone can succeed ­– even despite a learning problem – with the right kind of help and effort!

Editorial Reviews

“Hank's story lets children know that we all have challenges [and] reminds parents that while children may develop certain learning skills more slowly than others do, they are not necessarily limited for life.” —Nancy O. Nelson, PhD.
