About the book
This hilarious holiday book celebrates Christmas—Miami-style!
It’s Christmas time when a flamingo peers out of the tropical garden where he lives and notices downtown Miami; a city aglow in red and green lights and Christmas trees. Curious, he decides to investigate this strange holiday everyone seems to celebrating. The more he learns about Christmas, the more he hopes to be a part of it—but he worries. Can a clumsy pink tropical bird be a part of this perfect red and green holiday? He doesn’t see any pink lights! And then he gets an idea…there just might be a spot in a nativity scene for one more animal!
From the illustrator of The Useful Moose and author of Double Those Wheels comes an original, heart-warming tale just in time for the holidays!
