This one young flamingo, Adele was her name,
Knew under HER wings something wasn't the same.
Whilst quite unremarkably pink from outside ...
Inside were some colours she struggled to hide!

Adele wants nothing more than to be just like all the other flamingos. But hiding who she really is feels horribly tough. Can Adele find the courage to celebrate her true colours?

Perfect for fans of Perfectly Norman, this thought-provoking and touching story empowers children to embrace their uniqueness and have the courage to stand out.
