The Most Flamboyant Flamingo in the Whole Wide World by Troy Jenkinson

Description

Florence the Flamingo is in a loving family but is captivated by the beauty of Mavis the Macaw.

This story shows we can find lots of different birds attractive, but the important thing is to be our authentic selves. It can be used as part of a discussion with older children about how there are lots of ways people find one another attractive, but this does not prevent families from loving one another.  23pp
