"I’m absolutely in love with this book - it’s just the cutest thing on the planet. I also didn’t expect to learn so much, it’s also educational and heartwarming. I got it as a gift and the person I gave it to stopped in the middle of opening presents just to read it and wouldn’t put it down! My entire household loved it." - Holly R.
It was the Spring of 2020 - in the wake of the pandemic - when I saw a mourning dove perched on the fence of my condoʼs courtyard. Day after day, the dove appeared.
Eventually, I thought about putting out some seeds. Little did I know this would become the beginning of a unique relationship that changed my view of mourning doves forever and opened my eyes to the nature around me.
Mourning Doves Are People, Too is a comic journal of my encounters with a family of mourning doves during this remarkable year.
Mourning doves are one of the most common birds in North America. Chances are some kinds of doves live near you, too. I invite you to get to know your winged neighbors!
