The illustrations are humorous and beautifully detailed &#8211; from the rooms in the pigeon&#8217;s house to Iguana Menzel&#8217;s buggy bon bons. The book is filled with fun animal references to Broadway shows and actors. Cooper was inspired by the book&#8217;s message that we are perfect as we are, and we should work hard to achieve our goals. She was happy that Louise never gave up and ended up fulfilling her dream (and inspires others to do so as well). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cooperscorner.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/3-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/cooperscorner.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/3-2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cooperscorner.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/3-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cooperscorner.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/3-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cooperscorner.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/3-2.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Author Alex Timbers has three budgies at home (one is pictured in the author&#8217;s note).
