what makes us unique is what makes us special

Magnificent Mondo tells the story of a determined pigeon who dreams of dazzling the world with his magic. Mondo longs to join his idols, The Magnificent Four, on the grand stage. But when one of the famous doves rejects him, Mondo must look within and discover that true magnificence comes from believing in himself and not from the approval of others. Magnificent Mondo inspires children to follow their dreams, build self-confidence, and understand their self-worth, even when others say they can't. (Ages 4 - 8)
