Welcome, Mammingos!: A Bingo the Flamingo Story

What happens when a new home feels unfamiliar-and a new friend can't quite say your name?

Bingo the Flamingo and his family have traveled from far away to make a new home in El Soiree Rico, the warm and colorful Southside of the Town of Soiree. Everything feels different at first-the streets, the sounds, the neighbors, and all the new faces watching the fancy pink family arrive.

Then an excited little pup comes running to meet them. He tries to say flamingos... but his tongue gets tangled.

"Mmm... mammingos!"

Bingo isn't sure what to think. Is the pup teasing him-or could a funny little mistake become the beginning of something special?

Welcome, Mammingos! A Bingo the Flamingo Story is a colorful children's picture book about moving, friendship, belonging, and learning to listen for the love behind someone's words.

Set in the lively, Hartford-inspired Town of Soiree, this story reminds young readers that being new doesn't mean being alone-and sometimes the sweetest friendships begin with a word that comes out a little differently.
