Mark and Timmie longed for a pet of their own. They loved dogs, and cats, and gerbils. They loved rabbits, and ponies, and guinea pigs. But they loved carrier pigeons most of all. Their landlord loved pigeons, too. He had a whole loft of them, but he said "absolutely no pets" when he rented the small house to the boys' mother. So they could only watch -- and dream. What would it be like to have 'homers' of their very own?

About the author

Janette Oke (pronounced "oak") was born in Champion, Alberta, Canada, during the depression years.

She and Edward married in 1957 and went on to serve churches in Calgary and Edmonton, Canada, and Indiana. Oke published her first book, Love Comes Softly, in 1979.

She is the author of the "Love Comes Softly" and the "Prairie Legacy" series of books. Oke enjoys a large reading audience primarily comprised of teenagers, homemakers and working women. She recently started writing for young children.
