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.
