SYNOPSIS

Flora and Fernando are the wrong color for flamingos. They wonder what they could be until they discover becoming pink can take a year, and staying pink is due to their diet. At last relieved, they draw funny pictures of how they might look if they ate broccoli or blueberries.

REVIEW

If you are looking for a charming, delightful story for your youngster, then you'll find it in "Maybe We Are Flamingos". Thurman has created a wonderful and humorous story with "Maybe We Are Flamingos". Kids will love reading how Flora and Fernando go from scared and unsure to happy and silly. Thurman's gift of imagination shines through brilliantly when Flora and Fernando draw pictures of what they might look like if their diets were a bit different.

Kudos go out to Kevin Scott Collier for bringing this charming story to life with his beautiful illustrations. I was already a fan of Collier's work prior to this book, and he doesn't disappoint the reader this time around either

My daughters, ages 6 and 4, absolutely loved "Maybe We Are Flamingos" and have asked for it to be read over and over again. They've also had great fun making up their own stories to match the illustrations--a true sign that this book has touched their hearts. "Maybe We Are Flamingos" is a must have for every young reader!
