Bibi

A beautifully illustrated tale celebrating the wisdom and experience of old age, with a timely message about community and helping each other through difficult times. From the talented creator of the award-winning picture book Little One.

Bibi the flamingo has been with her flock for longer than anyone can remember.

When the lake dries up, the flamingos are forced to leave their babies behind and fly away to find water. Bibi bravely volunteers to guide the baby flamingos on foot across the barren salt flats to reunite them with their parents. But when one little flamingo starts to fall behind, Bibi teaches everyone a valuable lesson about community and the importance of being there to help one another in times of need.

With stunning charcoal illustrations and just a hint of pink, Jo Weaver brings this heartwarming tale of love and respect for the elderly to life.
