Hugo

A wonderful story of friendship that warms the heart, and Birgitta Sif's illustrations are so beautiful and charming, bring the story to life with so much warmth and compassion. A real must!

Lovely story. Beautiful illustrations.

I adore Paris and I adore this book. Birgitta Siff's illustrations are as they always are beautiful and a joy to see. I highly recommend this book

Touching tale of community, beautifully illustrated!

This is rather lovely, and the setting makes it a little charming, quaint and different.A pigeon takes his job as park warden seriously. He takes care of the local people round his park, helping them in their daily lives, offering friendship. There is one window he's never been inside, and it's one he finds himself exploring unwittingly after a run-in with a dog.The resident of the closed window is a lonely girl, who through Hugo, finds her 'window on the world' is slowly opened.It's lovely seeing an isolated child brought out of herself, and the role Hugo taking in it.Enjoyed the setting through the pictures. The story could have taken place anywhere, but it was rather nice to see a hatted pigeon and another country and different styles. Lots of French names to mispronounce too.A sweet story, a heartwarming ending, and a good bedtime read.

This is such an adorable picture book set in Paris about friendship, kindness and community. Couldn't recommend it more, for adults and children alike. Especially timely in the situation the world is currently finding itself in.

We loved this story, it is such a positive message of community and treating each other with kindness. Something we all need to remember in these troubling times! The illustrations are so beautiful, it really is a wonderful book. My girls love it!

I love this amazing story. It is so subtle how relevant it is and good to remember to reach out to the people around you. The illustrations are beautiful and intricate. Birgitta Sif manages to create a whole world that is quirky and fun. I would love to live in Hugo's neighbourhood.
