Overview

On the outside, Bingo appears like every other flamingo at Zoo Town Zoo. Tall. Feathery. Pink. But on the inside, Bingo yearns to be an architect. Bingo's untapped talents are put to the test when an unusual circumstance occurs at the zoo. Will she have what it takes to fulfill her dreams as an architect, or will her passions remain a blueprint? Author Anne Pace is a former kindergarten teacher, certified literacy specialist, and mother of three young kids. She is passionate about social emotional learning and strives to teach children messages of kindness, caring, and perseverance through her writing. Anne's journey into the world of children's literature began with a simple question from her curious children during a visit to the flamingo exhibit at the Greensboro Science Center. Inspired by their observations and fueled by her own dreams, Anne's imagination took flight, giving birth to the lovable character of Bingo the Flamingo. In BINGO THE FLAMINGO, Anne weaves a heartwarming tale of ambition, caring, and the power of believing in oneself. Drawing from her own experiences as a stay-at-home mom pursuing her dreams of authorship, Anne infuses Bingo's journey with authenticity and relatability. Anne's special bond with her own mother, Carol Lucas, who serves as the illustrator of the book, adds an extra layer of love and sentiment to this cherished mother-daughter collaboration. Through their joint efforts, Anne and her mother have created a timeless story that will captivate readers of all ages and inspire them to follow their dreams, no matter where life may lead.
