It is a stunning combination.įlora is a little bathing-suited girl with a yellow swim cap and brown flippers. Those blossoms are a perfect compliment to the limited color palette of pink, brown, and a pop of yellow. The setting is minimal and airy with abounding stretches of white paper bordered by cherry blossom trees. This book came out in that infamous “year of the wordless picture book” of 2013 and it rightfully earned a Caldecott Honor Medal from that year too.
Here is Flora and the Flamingo by Molly Idle, 2013. And then we’ll get to the good stuff in a short Q&A. Let’s take a quick look at the book to introduce it to any who may have missed it and refresh those of us who love it. In addition to having a beautiful book to discuss today, I have a short interview with the author and illustrator, Molly Idle! A breathtaking wordless book is such an artistic feat, who would know more about them than the artist herself!
Hello again to another Wordless Wednesday.
