    Pink
    The Children’s Book Review

    Pink is the story of Arossa, a baby flamingo, and how she saved the birds and their beloved pink feathers. She’ll teach everyone how being different can be a wonderful thing!

    Every year, flamingos flock by the millions to the heart of Africa to feed on the algae in the fiery-red Lake Natron. The lake becomes the perfect place for the beautiful birds to hatch and raise their newborn babies, absorbing the crimson color from the water and turning their wings from grey to pink. When the river stops flowing to the lake, what will happen to the flamingos? Who will save their beautiful coats of pink? Will the flamingos ever dance again?

      What beautiful book! We live in Florida and we enjoy watching the flamingos in all their glory in our State & National Parks. Did you know? Flamingos can live from 20 to 30 years in the wild. In captivity, flamingos can live even longer. This book would be a lovely addition to our love of flamingos!
