Former DreamWorks animator Molly Idle earned the first Caldecott Honor for Chronicle Books in 2014 with her premier book in a series about a young girl named Flora.
The dynamic illustration style and interactive flaps and foldouts featuring images of a dance between Flora and a graceful flamingo are the perfect way to tell this tale of friendship. The gorgeous pink blossoms that frame the pages add a touch of elegance to the otherwise unpretentious setting, and the characters' facial expressions and body language provide perfectly timed comic relief.
