BUYING ADVISORY: EL(K-3) - ESSENTIAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

A young girl visits her Lao Lao and discovers a flamingo feather. The feather prompts her Chinese grandmother to tell a story about a girl who raises a flamingo from an egg.

Gorgeously illustrated, the pictures are worth the price of the book. The story is imaginative and creative and told almost without words. I love the relationship between the grandmother and the girl. This is a beautiful story that makes you want to celebrate life.
