Meet Flo! Flo is the littlest panda. She likes to explore, relax, and enjoy everything around her. She is never in a hurry. But . . . sometimes she takes too much time, and the other pandas get impatient. One day they find themselves in trouble. Can Flo’s floppy ways save the day? With Kyo Maclear’s sweet, spare text and Jay Fleck’s bold, bright illustrations, Flo is sure to be a favorite for even the busiest little pandas!
Flo is the littlest panda. She likes to do things her own way, which usually means taking her own sweet time. This doesn’t sit well with the other pandas, who have a packed schedule of daily activities to keep to. But when the busy pandas get themselves into a spot of trouble, Flo’s unique way of looking at the world saves the day.
Flo is an adorable little sweetheart who will appeal to readers young and old. She finds joy in her surroundings, takes her time and makes friends with everyone around her, and the language Maclear uses to describe her is just pitch-perfect. As illustrated by Jay Fleck, Flo is an utterly charming rolly polly little bear.
The story here is a familiar one – a character doesn’t fit in with her peers, but in the end her unique qualities prove their worth and save the day. What really makes FLO special is its wonderful illustrations – bright colours, bold lines, cheerful characters, and plenty of fun little details to point out and enjoy.
Flo is a sweet, endearing little story about being yourself and living in the moment, a particularly necessary reminder in this relentlessly busy modern age.
