The Flamingo
The Flamingo: A Graphic Novel Chapter Book | Guojing
2 posts | 2 read
From a highly acclaimed illustrator comes a stunning graphic novel filled with adventure and wonder about an imaginative girl and her obsession with flamingoes. A little girl arrives, excited for a beachy vacation with her Lao Lao. The girl and her grandmother search for shells, chase crabs, and play in the sea, but when the girl finds an exquisite flamingo feather in her grandmother's living room, her vacation turns into something fantastical. This nearly wordless graphic novel begins in nostalgic sepia toned illustrations and explodes into riotous color as Lao Lao tells her granddaughter the story of a little girl who finds herself as the caretaker of a baby flamingo. The Flamingo is a tale of imagination, reunions, and connection that readers are sure to reach for again and again.

A lovely time, with just a sprinkle of bittersweetness among the flights of fancy. I enjoy the visual design choices, colours vibrant in memories and more muted in present, the pink standing out throughout, and the choice to make the story almost, but not completely, word free.

These illustrations are so lovely!! 😍 Also this book has very little text - like a few lines every 10+ pages? but it still tells an interesting story 💕
