Fly High, Fly Low

---

Soar through the foggy, vibrant skies of San Francisco with Fly High, Fly Low, a Caldecott Honor-winning picture book masterpiece written and exquisitely illustrated by Don Freeman, the legendary creator of Corduroy. This touching story revolves around Mady, a proud and resourceful grey pigeon who discovers the most perfect place to build a cozy nest for his mate, Becky: the loops of a massive, blinking electric sign shaped like the letter "B" perched high atop a skyscraper. For a while, their life is blissfully perfect as they watch the cable cars crawl below. However, disaster strikes one morning when workers arrive and start dismantling the sign while Becky is away, forcing Mady to go on a desperate, heart-pounding search across the wind-swept city to find his family and establish a safe new home. Rendered in Freeman’s signature warm colored pencils and soft pastels, this beautiful story teaches children timeless lessons about love, resilience, belonging, and loyalty. It serves as an exceptional reading-aloud tool for early childhood development, an introduction to landmark geography, and an indispensable classic anchor for any library's juvenile picture book and English literature collections.
