Bibi the flamingo has been with her flock as long as anyone can remember.
When the lake dries up, Bibi and the new babies must trek across the barren salt flats to find water.
But when one little Flamingo starts to fall behind, Bibi teaches them all a valuable lesson about community and being there for one another in times of need.

"This book is a visual and lyrical delight, with words carefully chosen to good effect. Soft charcoal illustrations reflect the gentle tone of the story and the limited palette of grey and pink creates a sense of calm for the reader. An excellent text to engage young readers in exploring themes of resilience, respect for elders and what it means to be part of a community."
