A Cote of Many Colors

Title: A Cote of Many Colors

Author: Janette Oke

Grade Level: 3&4th

"A Cote of Many Colors" is a story of homing pigeons. Unlike most of Janette Oke's children's books, this one tells the story from the perspective of the people. Learn about homing pigeons while an unexpected tragedy bridges the gap between a crotchety man and his two neighbor boys. Reaching out and praying for the neighbor are clearly taught. Toward the end, the boys (whose dad had died) are thrilled when their mom chooses to remarry.
