Ringo the Flamingo!
By Neil Griffiths
Published by Red Robin Books
ISBN 1-905434-06-5
Meet Ringo the Flamingo an adorable chick with a disability but not a problem!
Though dearly loved by his family and friends Ringo knows he is different to them due to his physical limitations, which sometimes trouble him.
Through the story readers see Ringo’s resilience, his bravery and the special place he holds in the hearts of the flamingo flock.
A beautifully sensitive picture book which probes the theme of disability appropriately for young children. Well suited to children with developed attention and listening skills. Some lovely descriptive language used such as “Sifting for shrimps in the shallows” and “The rays of sunlight seemed to be dancing wildly in the sky”. Accompanied by the stunning illustrations of Judith Blake
