Summary: In this wordless story you follow a curious little girl, Flora as she follows and mimics a flamingo. The flamingo does not seem to care too much for Flora and her antics. At one point the Flamingo startles Flora and she tumbles backwards. This hurts Flora's feelings and the flamingo makes it up to her. They continue the rest of the story dancing from page to page. This is a simple by endearing book and is told through soft pastel water colors. Check out the book trailer below! I could not have created a better one. Thank you to YouTube for allowing me to share this trailer.
