The Pigeon Man, by Joel Stein, is included in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum collection.

A wounded pigeon. A haunted janitor. A refugee boy looking for hope.
When Danny Simon rescues a bloodied pigeon from a vicious flock attack, he has no idea he's about to change his life-and someone else's. New to America and still reeling from the horrors of war in his Russian homeland, Danny finds an unexpected friendship with Mike Delaney, the gruff, pigeon-loving janitor who lives in the basement of Danny's Bronx apartment building.

As Danny learns to care for the injured bird, Feisty, he and Delaney forge a bond built on trust, healing, and second chances. But when bullies from Danny's school discover his rooftop refuge, everything is threatened-including the birds, the loft, and the fragile peace both Danny and Delaney have just begun to find.

The Pigeon Man is a heartfelt, coming-of-age story set in the post-WWII era, perfect for middle grade and young adult readers. It explores friendship, resilience, and the healing power of animals-and how even the most broken wings can learn to fly again.
