Description: "A young pigeon shows that the ways in which we are different can also be the ways in which we become heroes."--Provided by publisher.

Review Quotes: An uplifting tale that celebrates difference.
--Kirkus Reviews

The story's lessons--of accepting and even commending differences, and that nonconformity may be a result of being true to oneself--are clear but nondidactic. Sicuro's soft pastel watercolor, gouache, and pen-and-ink illustrations complement the gentle tone.
--The Horn Book

[A] soaring celebration of individuality.
--Booklist

In a story in which a protagonist's perceived failing save the day, luxuriant watercolor, gouache, and ink illustrations from Sicuro set Seven against a Parisian-style landscape of colorful mansard rooftops and meandering cobblestone streets.
--Publishers Weekly

The dreamy watercolor-and-gouache illustrations outlined in black ink readily evoke the setting, as readers get a birds-eye view of the Parisian streets and the French countryside. . . . This is still a sweet read for any young wanderer, reminding them that their meandering path should be celebrated.
