Smorgasbord Cafe and Bookstore – New Author on the Shelves – #Children’s – Franky the Friendly Flamingo: An Anti-Bullying Book (The Franky the Flamingo Series) Wanda Luthman

Delighted to welcome Multi-Award-winning Children’s Author Wanda Luthman to the Cafe and Bookstore. Wanda has a new book out that I will feature later in the month, but as an introduction to her work, here is Franky the Friendly Flamingo: An Anti-Bullying Book (The Franky the Flamingo Series)

About the book

Franky was a finicky dude, until he found his perfect, pink food. He then went in search for the perfect drink and wondered if it would also be pink. Now he’s back and he’s here to say, “Being yourself is always okay!”
This children’s book contains an anti-bullying message through the beloved flamingo character named Franky. He is friendly with all the different birds, but one day he spots a little bird being bullied by a bigger bird and he intervenes in a loving way that teaches the other birds who had just been standing by how they can intervene too.

One of the recent reviews for the book

Gisela Hausmann 5.0 out of 5 stars  Franky is back  Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2020

I probably like “Franky the Flamingo” so much because I used to live in Florida for 16 yrs and I still miss those days. In this book Franky ventures out and tries to make bird friends wherever he goes. Of course, they ( storks, cranes, geese, ducks, finches, sparrows, etc) are all different but they share a common interest for playing. One day, Franky encounters an angry bird who said hurtful things to a tiny bird. Franky knows what to do and helps.

Of course, this is a story that presents the topic of bullying in a new “bird light.” My little grandson who is not in school yet is still too young to know anything about bullying but he enjoyed the descriptions of the different birds and what they do.

Highly recommend to help younger readers learn about bird as well as use the story as a conversation starter to talk about bullying.
