Do you have mourning doves in your backyard? Do you love to hear their sweet cooing? Does their gentle demeanor make you smile? Then you may agree that Mourning Doves Are People, Too!
In Spring 2020, at the start of the pandemic, a mourning dove visited my courtyard. I offered it some quinoa I had in my cupboard, but it wasn’t interested. Despite my lack of knowledge of what doves like to eat, the dove kept visiting. This was how our unexpected relationship began. I called her OG. She brought her partner, children, and other doves into my courtyard. They introduced me to a whole new natural world right in the backyard of my urban apartment. My world expanded in an unexpected way, even while I was locked down at home.
This comic journal invites you to discover the world of one of North America's most common birds. You may learn fascinating facts you never knew about doves. And your love for them will surely grow. A perfect gift for yourself, bird lovers, and nature enthusiasts.
"I’m absolutely in love with this book - it’s just the cutest thing on the planet. I also didn’t expect to learn so much, it’s also educational and heartwarming. I got it as a gift and the person I gave it to stopped in the middle of opening presents just to read it and wouldn’t put it down! My entire household loved it." - H

This small book is a big delight for anyone who has enjoyed watching mourning doves in their yards or neighborhoods. Demi Naito watched them closely enough to see the bonds they form and break with each other, the care they give to the next generation, and the scuffles they have with other bird species. Despite their unassuming appearance and behavior, mourning doves have lives and relationships that are complex and fascinating.
This is absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much!
I love the meaning and significance behind the book! I discovered it after receiving visits from my own mourning dove. She and this book are amazing!!
Funny and interesting booklet on mourning doves. The perfect gift for my neighbor who has great disdain for doves!
Lovely story that struck a chord with a family member. Very special and I was so glad to find.
