A little girl arrives, excited for a beachy vacation with her Lao Lao. The girl and her grandmother search for shells, chase crabs, and play in the sea, but when the girl finds an exquisite flamingo feather in her grandmother's living room, her vacation turns into something fantastical.
This nearly wordless graphic novel begins in nostalgic sepia toned illustrations and explodes into riotous color as Lao Lao tells her granddaughter the story of a little girl who finds herself as the caretaker of a baby flamingo.
The Flamingo is a tale of imagination, reunions, and connection that readers are sure to reach for again and again.
From a highly acclaimed illustrator comes a stunning graphic novel filled with adventure and wonder about an imaginative girl and her obsession with flamingos. A little girl arrives, excited for a beach vacation with her Lao Lao. The girl and her grandmother search for shells, chase crabs, and play in the sea, but when the girl finds an exquisite flamingo feather in her grandmother's living room, her vacation turns into something fantastical.
With one flamingo feather, a girl's vacation transforms into something magical. When a girl visits her Lao Lao, they collect shells, watch a sea turtle hatch, and play in the ocean. Then the discovery of a pretty pink flamingo feather prompts the grandmother to tell a fanciful story about a girl who raises a flamingo from an egg. Upon returning home, the girl uses her imagination to bring Lao Lao's flamingo story to a fantastical conclusion.
