 Pigeons - Written and illustrated by Lauren Oulton

 This book is a whimsical adventure for children as they get to know a little bit about all pigeons. This book is meant to amuse children of all ages.

Whether it is one pigeon on a street, a salty pigeon on a dock, or pigeons under bridges, cooing 

 Lou's Big Move - Written by Jaimie McGivery, Illustrated by Megan Munn

 This is a cute book with a story to tell.

Lou has decided that he knows best and that gets the little guy into trouble. Thankfully, remembering what his mother had to say leads him to safety.

It's a good story with a clear message to children.

The story is from a first-time author, and the artist is new to the scene as well. Hopefully, these 2 will make a big splash with more works in the future.
