Franky the Finicky Flamingo, (Paperback)

Franky the Finicky Flamingo was inspired by my own child's picky eating when she was a youngster. Both my husband and I had been picky eaters so we understood, but we still tried to help her expand her list of "agreeable" foods. Often when she spent the night at a friend's house, they would serve something different and she would come home excited to eat a new food. Thank goodness for friends! In this story, Franky is a finicky eater or so it seems. He tries food that the other birds like to eat but nothing appeals to him. Finally, a friend helps him discover the food that is right for him. The message is about accepting our "finickiness" while also understanding our need for the "right" (aka healthy) foods. A fun rhyming picture book with beautiful pictures tells the tale that children will enjoy hearing and parents will enjoy reading again and again.
