by Dottie Lee, Pei Jen (Illustrator)

Overview

Frances Flamingo: Rainbows and Roller Skates is a heartwarming story of friendship, courage, and adventure-all set against the glittering backdrop of a roller rink!

When Frances Flamingo spots a brilliant rainbow in the sky, she makes a difficult decision-leaving her migrating flock to chase its mesmerizing colors. But when the rainbow fades, she realizes she's all alone. Searching for her flock, Frances mistakes the bright pink glow of the Rainbow Roller Rink for her flamingo family and stumbles into a whole new world of roller skating and friendship.
