The Pigeons of Los Angeles Mini-Comic

A group of pigeons in Pershing Square in Downtown Los Angeles is depressed because humans treat them badly, like calling them “rats with wings.” They lie down on their backs in the middle of the park! The leader pigeon, Chief, comes to their rescue and tells stories of the past to encourage them. Can the pigeons stand on their feet again before a hawk finds them? 

You will learn about pigeons and the forgotten history of Los Angeles. You will ride the emotional roller coaster with the pigeons as Chief tells the pigeons' story and arrive at a brighter place.

Great gift book for both pigeon lovers and haters, and anyone in between. The pigeons will thank you.

This was Demi's first comic book. She conceived the story while going through a very difficult time in her life. The story helped her to survive that period of time, which encouraged her to create this comic book.

“I will forever look at pigeons so differently! To be honest, I am super surprised at how I couldn’t stop reading this book.…..Pigeons do get a bum rap, and I had no idea of any of this history. The author/illustrator has done a beautiful job of weaving in the universal message of finding inner strength through crisis....Well-done!” - Paolina M.
