Ever sinceᅡᅠhe was an infant,ᅡᅠPigeon Jones has lived on the back of an artistically gifted white elephant named Birch. Birch is a lovingᅡᅠfather, but that doesn't stop Pigeon from wondering aboutᅡᅠthe human parentsᅡᅠwho abandoned him. Birch has dreams, too¬タヤof being a well-known artist, and of finding the acrobat he fell in love with while they performed together in a circus years ago.And so, on Pigeon's tenth birthday, their search for fame and lost loves begins. Pigeon and Birch paint their wayᅡᅠacross the world, dodging an evil circus ringleader, freeing zoo animals, and befriending singing hoboes along the way.ᅡᅠBut when they reach theᅡᅠend of their journey,ᅡᅠBirch must master the most difficult art of all: letting go and allowing his beloved Pigeon to stand on his own two feet.
