A bold and colourful picture book with a heart-warming story about always being yourself. Arnold blends right in with his bright pink flamingo family. Then a growling gang of lions stops by and demands that Arnold should be more lion-like, just like them. Poor Arnold tries but misses his old life. But then his flamingo family is threatened by the growling gang. Is this the moment when Arnold will find his roar?

“Arnold the lion is pink, as is his family of flamingos. He feels he fits right in until a pride of lions meets him at the waterhole and tried to tell him ow a king of the jungle should behave.” Nursery World
Throughout, the illustrations boldly coloured, limited palette and loose style add exuberance and fun to the telling of the story about identity and belonging. It does indeed seem that it¹s love that makes a family. Kirkus Reviews
