Dr. Kuluva is a practicing neurologist and psychiatrist. He lives in the Bay Area with his wife, Dayna, and their son, Lev. The inspiration for this book came when he was backpacking through Europe and he marveled at the countless pigeons he saw in all the great plazas. The motivation for the book came when he saw how much his son enjoyed reading books before going to bed. He decided to put to paper the idea that came to him when he was sitting on a bench near the Eiffel Tour in Paris.
