Felix the Flamingo's Wobbly Dance

In the shimmering shallows of the great pink lagoon, the flamingo flock moves as one. A hundred legs lifted in time. A hundred necks curved in perfect harmony. Every flamingo a picture of peaceful balance.

Every flamingo, that is, except Felix.

Felix loves his flock. He really, truly tries. But when his brain whispers "left foot up," his right wing swoops down. When his brain says "hold still," his knees give a little jiggle. Wobble, wobble, plop! "You just need to pay attention, Felix," the others sigh. "Try a little harder."

But Felix is trying. His brain and body simply speak two different languages.

Then one afternoon, a Snap-Jaw Croc slips into the lagoon. The flock freezes still as reeds, every flamingo except Felix, whose trembling body has plans of its own. What happens next is the wildest, wibbliest, most spectacular dance the lagoon has ever seen... and it just might save them all.

Felix the Flamingo's Wobbly Dance is a warm, funny, deeply moving picture book for children whose bodies don't always do what their brains ask.
