Flo by Kyo Maclear - ADVISABLE


Maclear, Kyo  Flo, illustrated by Jay Fleck PICTURE BOOK Farrar Straus Giroux (Macmillan), 2018. $18. 9780374305260  

Flo is the littlest panda in her panda family.  Her family is ambitious and likes to learn new things, so they are always on a tight schedule to go to all of their activities.  Often times, Flo is late and distracted because she’s a bit of a daydreamer.  One day Flo’s whole panda family gets stuck in the middle of the lake when their boat stops moving, but Flo uses her great imagination and saves them.  Now, sometimes the family takes the time to be easy going like Flo and just hang out and daydream.  

The panda bear illustrations in this book are super cute.  Panda bears are adorable on their own, but cute little Flo is endearing.  I love the message that sometimes we need to slow down and just enjoy life.
