About the book

Patrick wakes up one day to find he's turned pink overnight. What will his friends think?

Poor Patrick runs away in search of pink playmates. He crosses the ocean where he finds some flamingos - but will he ever fit in with them? Patrick soon learns that friendship is never black and white, but that real friends will accept you whatever.

A heart-warming story of learning to be different.
