The story follows Phoebe, a young girl who lives in a city that is oddly filled with pigeon people—creatures who look like humans but have the heads of pigeons. The book focuses on Phoebe's interactions with these strange, yet somewhat familiar beings, and how she tries to fit in while maintaining her unique identity. Phoebe stands out because, unlike others who have succumbed to the pigeon-like traits and behaviors, she retains her humanity. She finds herself caught between the world of the pigeon people, who are content to live their peculiar lives, and her own desire to be different. As Phoebe learns more about the pigeon people and what it means to belong, the book touches on themes of acceptance, self-expression, and the courage to stand out. Her journey reflects the tension many face in trying to stay true to who they are while also seeking connection with others.
