Bibi

Reach for this book when your child is beginning to recognize that the adults they rely on are aging, or when they need to understand that leadership is about wisdom rather than just physical strength. This moving story follows Bibi, an elderly flamingo who has led her flock across the salt flats for many years. When a drought makes the journey harder than ever, the flock begins to doubt her fading strength, but Bibi's deep memory of the land ultimately saves them. It is a beautiful meditation on the cyclical nature of life, the importance of honoring our elders, and the resilience found in community. Perfect for children ages 4 to 8, it offers a gentle way to discuss the transition of roles within a family and the enduring value of experience. Parents will appreciate the stunning, atmospheric illustrations and the way it models respect and perseverance without being didactic.
