Maybe it’s Flora’s flippers, maybe it’s the sharp looks from the flamingo, or the decidedly ungraceful splashing. Despite the pink this is a thoroughly non girly-girl pink. The graceful flamingo and the charming Flora leap, dance and splash through pages which are all the shades of pink you could ever possibly imagine – and then some. This visually stunning, wordless picture book by former DreamWorks animator Molly Idle, captures ridiculousness and loveliness perfectly. So it was with much delight that I took possession of ‘Flora and the Flamingo’. They are a curious combination of ridiculousness and loveliness. I really don’t know why, but I have a thing for flamingos. This post is dedicated to Liv, who is yet to embrace the loveliness of the garden flamingo.
