A wordless dance of friendship

Flora and a flamingo communicate through movement in this wordless picture book, where imitation, missteps, and synchronized dance shape their encounter. Lift-the-flap elements make the illustrations interactive, inviting young readers to follow the action and build their own account of how the pair learns to move together. Dance and friendship are expressed through visual storytelling rather than dialogue, giving the book a clear focus for shared looking and storytelling.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children, including those in the 0–3 age group, exploring picture books with an adult.
  • Families seeking a wordless, interactive book to share and discuss together.
  • Young dance enthusiasts interested in stories told through movement.

Book overview

In this magical Caldecott Honor-winning picture book, Flora and her graceful flamingo friend wordlessly explore the trials and joys of friendship through an elaborate synchronized dance.

Every little ballerina dreams of her turn as a dancing diva. Endearing Flora in swimsuit, bathing cap, and flippers admires a pink flamingo . . . and with a twist, a turn, and even a flop, these unlikely friends learn at last how to dance together in perfect harmony.

An innovative wordless picture book with interactive flaps, Flora and the Flamingo is full of humor and heart. This stunning performance (and splashy ending!) will have readers clapping for more!
