PS
With a few words and her trademark cut-paper collage illustrations, Walsh tells the story of Pete, who presumes to be a flamingo but who looks suspiciously like an alligator. He eventually discovers that he's different but the same, and his unflappable flamingo playmates agree: "You always have been." A very clever book about accepting the differences in others and in yourself.
