Sylvie




Author-illustrator Jennifer Sattler's beloved flamingo picture book is now available as a trade paperback Dragonfly edition!

Meet a flamingo of a different stripe. When all-too-curious Sylvie learns that the reason she is pink is because of her diet, she decides to do a little experimenting! At first, Sylvie likes trying out different colors and patterns, but ultimately she learns the valuable lesson that sometimes it's best to just be yourself.

Praise for Sylvie

"Sylvie is one endearing flamingo, sure to capture readers' hearts with her exuberant style. The artwork masterfully captures each of Sylvie's emotions in both facial expression and body language. . . . This will be a hit in just about every setting."--Kirkus Reviews

"There is a surprise ending that will surely induce giggles from kids. Sattler's art steals the show; the colors are eye-popping and vibrant, right to the swirling bright endpapers. As Sylvie changes colors the background changes hues as well. This title is sure to create story time magic." --School Library Journal
