Keith is a cat, but he’d rather be a pigeon. He campaigns for their rights and writes ‘hi-coos’ about them but they won’t let him get too close. Will Keith ever make friends with the pigeons and learn how it feels to be one? Will he ever find out who he really is and feel comfortable just being Keith? A timely book about being true to yourself when you can’t find a label that quite fits how you feel. The book can be used on many levels, but it is a particularly good way to help children to understand gender identity and encourage them to stay open-minded. It can be used to stimulate discussions about the way others perceive us compared to how we perceive ourselves and why we should treat everyone with respect.

Katie Brosnan loves being creative. When she isn’t drawing, writing or screen-printing, she helps to run art workshops for children and makes one-off ceramic characters. She achieved an MA with Distinction in Children’s Book Illustration from the Cambridge School of Art and a BA in Fine Art from Nottingham Trent University. In 2018, Katie was a UK winner in the international picture book competition ‘Picture This!’ and was highly commended in the Macmillan Prize for illustration.

 * The book can be used to teach children about self-awareness, identity and prejudice.
* Encourages readers to be accepting and kind.
* Katie Brosnans first picture book is a warm and funny addition to your bookshelf.
