Storytime: Bingo the Flamingo

Sat, Jun 24, 2023

On the outside, Bingo appears like every other flamingo at Zoo-Town Zoo: Tall. Feathery. Pink. But on the inside, Bingo yearns to be an architect. Bingo’s untapped talents are put to the test when an unusual circumstance occurs at the zoo. Will she have what it takes to fulfill her dreams as an architect, or will her passions remain a blueprint?

Anne Pace is a former kindergarten teacher and mother of two toddlers. A children’s book lover, she sees stories all around her. One day while visiting the Science Center in Greensboro, North Carolina, a flamingo caught Anne’s attention. The flamingo honked, grunted, and flapped her wings while the rest of the flamingo exhibit slept around her. Anne and her children wondered aloud, “What is the flamingo trying to say? Is she bored? Does she want to escape?” Anne’s wheels began to turn and Bingo came to life!
