It’s the Flamingo Book.
Heart-warming story
Beautiful illustrations
Incredible Quality
Everyone likes flamingos. Or at least that’s what Hans-Peter, the titular hero of this wonderful new flamingo book, thinks. However, he’s about to find out that life isn’t always quite that simple – and that the journey to acceptance starts from within.
In A Very Special Flamingo – written by Thomas George with illustrations by Sandra Underkicher – you can follow Hans-Peter from his home on the cold river, in the grey town, on the green island… to a place he can finally call home.

Lovely book with beautiful illustrations!
Omer Szerer
“Hans-Peter could not understand ducks at all. He did not know why they did so little, but quacked so much.”
A lovely book about pink flamingos, and being happy wherever you are.
Strongly recommended!
Great Children’s Book
Giles Turner
Got the book for my kids after a friend recommended it. Really enjoyed reading it myself, and my six and eight year olds loved it.
I’d thoroughly recommend the book to any parent with children of a similar age.
Heartwarming and delightful.
A Very Special Book.
Caitlin Hughes
A heart-warming story about finding your place in the world and celebrating the things which make us special. ‘A Very Special Flamingo’ is the perfect bedtime story for little ones — and beautifully illustrated, too.
Children and adults alike will enjoy following Hans-Peter on his adventure through the forest, the snowy mountains and across the salty sea. Highly recommended!
Who Wrote this Flamingo Book?
Thomas George
…is an author who, like Hans-Peter the flamingo, once lived by a cold river, in a grey town, on a green island.
Similarly, he likes fish, seagulls, and looking at his reflection. However, he has no strong feelings about ducks.
Sandra Unterkircher
…is a designer who largely compensates for the author’s inability to draw straight lines.
As an Austrian, she finds it difficult to conceptualise the sea at all. Despite this, she draws an excellent flamingo. However, her favorite character in the flamingo book isn’t a flamingo at all… it’s Doris the seagull.
