(2) K-3 From his apartment window, Jawanza observes the street scenes he's forbidden to join, but it's the pigeons on the roof that captivate him. He begins a conversation with the pigeons' elderly keeper, who introduces Jawanza to his cherished birds. There's not much plot here, but the dazzling illustrations are rife with contrasts, which reinforce the message that joy can be found amid harsh urban realities.
