When an elderly, non-English-speaking woman won't stop feeding pigeons in her yard, her neighbors vow to make her move. Rachel (Family Dinner) and her great-uncle step in to find a more humane solution. This satisfying story features a thoughtful, caring character who effects change because of her intelligence and perseverance. Black-and-white illustrations help break up the text.
