A little red headed girl uses her imagination, pretending to be a Flamingo, telling a story about her wonderful African animal friends, a Monkey, a Zebra, a Giraffe and an Elephant. The Flamingo calls her friends and invites them to a picnic under the acacia tree near the west bank of the lake. But, when an uninvited guest appears unexpected mystery, fun, and hilarity follow. This book uses beautiful photographs taken in Kenya and the United States to illustrate the story. A fun read aloud book to spark the imagination.
