Five Pigeons

Aiden and Maya sit against the playground fence — five pigeons on top, sketchbook open, while the rest of the playground buzzes behind them.

Five Pigeons

From Simran Kaur and the Fence — the fourth book in the Five Kakars series.

Simran noticed Aiden sitting alone by the fence for three days. On the fourth, she walked the ten steps across the playground to sit with him. By the end, Maya's there too — drawing the pigeon with the funny walk.

What to colour: the five pigeons on the fence (can you spot the funny one?), the chain-link fence, the playground swings and slide in the background, Maya's sketchbook.
