During a storm, migrating flamingo Mingo crash-lands on a farm; in addition to a broken wing, he can't recall who he is or where he fits in. Once he remembers, he still has to find a way home. Each problem's solution comes too easily, but the gouache and digital illustrations are striking, particularly the contrast between neon-pink Mingo and his earth-toned surroundings.
