Reach for this book when your child is in a high-energy phase where their curiosity often outpaces their impulse control. It is the perfect choice for the preschooler or kindergartner who tends to dart toward the playground before you have finished unbuckling them from the car. The story follows a young boy named Luke who, captivated by a flock of pigeons, embarks on an exuberant, wordless chase through the bustling streets of New York City. While the book captures the pure, chaotic joy of total freedom, it also serves as a gentle mirror for children to see the consequences of getting lost in the moment. Harry Bliss uses a comic-style format that is highly accessible for early readers, focusing on themes of wonder, independence, and the relief of being found. It is an ideal read for validating a child's adventurous spirit while opening a door to talk about staying safe in public spaces.
