The Flamingo with Two Left Feet

What happens to a flamingo who can’t dance?

Fernando feels self-conscious and embarrassed about joining the other flamingos in their ‘Dance on the Water’ to find a mate. He thinks he is clumsy and there’s no chance a flamingo will ever choose him. However, his mother lovingly encourages him to practice and be patient.

Practicing each day does give Fernando some success and confidence. However, a sudden setback, and some taunting and name calling from the other flamingos, causes him to lose his confidence again.

What will happen? Will Fernando dance on the water and find his perfect mate?

Patti Bonesteel lives in Baldwinsville, NY with her husband Bob. Raising four daughters and teaching at the elementary level for 25 years helped guide her writing. She believes that children always learn best while being entertained and using their imaginations.

Loving nature and learning about animals and their habitats, led her to research and write her first book, The Flamingo With Two Left Feet. It is a story that incorporates humor, life lessons, and facts that will encourage conversations.

She believes Fernando, The Flamingo with Two Left Feet marries imagination and facts into a wonderful partnership; where parents and children can share their thoughts, and make more explorations together.
