Review
"This is a beautifully written story which challenges our preconceptions about disability. Ringo's legs didn't work but the flock always took care of him and he always remained happy. One day, a fire swept across the lakeside and all the rest of the flamingoes flew off to safety, leaving Ringo behind. But not only Ringo was left behind - and he was the only one who could rescue the chick. A wonderful story of bravery with a touching ending showing how Ringo has a position of real value in the flock. The shiny pages and stunning illustrations make this a book to treasure - wonderfully produced. An excellent introduction to disability awareness and a thought-provoking story to share with all children and an example to us all."

Review
"This is a lovely warm story is well told and covers disability from many aspects, from the physical to the many different emotions felt and encountered. It also covers how even though Ringo was loved and 
protected by his flock, he still needed to find his own role and way in the world, which he does through the rescue and love for the chicks."
