Synopsis
The Pigeon That Worked a Miracle is an unusual adventure story about a young boy, Chad, and Pidge, his pet pigeon. More than an adventure, it’s an inspiring story of great personal challenge and determination. Chad and Pidge are united by a very special bond, each is challenged by a handicap. A spinal injury confines the boy to a wheelchair. The doctors know that Chad has healed physically, yet, remains unable to walk due to an emotional handicap—the fear of failure. Pidge, too, is handicapped. Rejected at birth by his mother, Pidge becomes weak and frail. Chad hand-raises the peeper, who grows into a strong and very competitive bird.

As Chad and Pidge work to reach their goals, they encounter many challenges, gaining strength and determination. It seems nothing can stop them. Faced with a life-or-death situation, Chad rises to the occasion. He discovers that his love, devotion and hard work have resulted in a miracle.
