Meet a flamingo of a different stripe!

“Mama, why are we pink?” asks an ever-curious young flamingo named Sylvie. Like Leo Lionni’s chameleon in A Color of His Own, Sylvie comes to learn that being yourself is the best thing to be. When she learns that it’s due to the little pink brine shrimp they eat, Sylvie takes the maxim “You are what you eat!” to a whole new level. Her new diet leads to some very interesting new looks—from scarlet to stripey to positively purple!
JENNIFER SATTLER is the creator of many beloved picture books, such as the Chick 'n' Pug series, the Pig Kahuna series, and Dollop and Mrs. Fabulous. She is married and has two children and two dogs. She lives in upstate New York. Visit her at jennifersattlerbooks.com. View titles by Jennifer Sattler
