About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when dealing with a picky eater or a child who is resistant to trying new experiences. Lola the flamingo is perfectly happy eating only shrimp, thank you very much. But when a storm washes all the shrimp away, she must decide whether to stay hungry or be brave enough to try something new. This charming and beautifully illustrated story gently explores themes of curiosity, resilience, and the joy of discovery. It's a fantastic, non-preachy way to open a conversation with a 6 to 8 year old about the wonderful things that can happen when we step outside our comfort zone.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
There are no significant sensitive topics. The core conflict is mild hunger and resistance to change. The approach is metaphorical and secular, with a resolution that is entirely hopeful and celebratory. The storm is a plot device, not a scary or traumatic event.
