Description: "The Last Chip" follows Percy, a small pigeon struggling to find food in the busy city. Despite his best efforts, Percy is always beaten to discarded scraps by bigger, more aggressive birds. Hungry and disheartened after days without success, Percy spots one last chip abandoned on the ground—but reaching it proves challenging. Duncan Beedie's expressive illustrations capture Percy's determination and hunger alongside the bustling urban landscape. When Percy finally gets his chance at the chip, an unexpected act of kindness creates a heartwarming conclusion. This touching tale combines humor with important messages about perseverance, empathy, and sharing, while subtly addressing themes of homelessness and hunger through Percy's struggles.
