The Pigeon & The Peacock

Reach for this book when your child starts comparing their own abilities or appearance to others and begins to feel like they are not enough. It is a beautiful remedy for the 'comparison trap' that often catches young children as they become more socially aware of their peers' perceived advantages. The story follows a humble pigeon who overlooks his own extraordinary gift of healing because he is dazzled by the peacock's outward beauty. By weaving together elements of ancient mythology and animal fables, the book teaches children that true value is found in how we help others rather than how we look. It is a gentle, reassuring choice for preschoolers and early elementary students who are navigating feelings of jealousy or low self-esteem.
