A little pigeon sat hunched in the snow. There was a piece of line wrapped around his leg, and it was caught on a branch. The line was preventing the pigeon from getting off the ground. The pigeon looked sad because his friends were flying away, and he could not leave with them. If the pigeon did not get help soon he would be an easy target for any wild animals out hunting for prey. The pigeon had no way of knowing it, but this was going to be his lucky day. Nana was at the lake and she spotted him. She would help the pigeon find his way back to his friends. Patsy is from Canada. She writes children's books and poetry. When she is not writing she likes going for long walks and getting in touch with nature. It is usually on her walks that the characters for her next book are born. This series is about the animals I have rescued or adopted. And, how they lived in my home for a time; some recuperating from their injuries, and others just needing some extra help to make it back to their home in the wild. There are eight books in this series. I am still helping animals whose stories may not make it into books. But, they are just as special. I would like everyone to have respect and compassion for animals. It is especially important to teach our children to respect them, and all of nature. Reading these books to your children is a good way to teach them the importance of respecting our wild friends and our pets.
