A heart-lifting story of hope and courage in a time of war, set in the South of France

‘The storytelling is, as always, irresistible and the characters clasp your heart’ Sunday Times, Children’s Book of the Week

There are lots of things Lorenzo doesn’t understand, but he does understand animals – especially the flamingos in the salt flats of his Camargue home, which the Second World War has barely touched.

But then the soldiers come, and Lorenzo’s world is threatened. Amongst the Germans, though, is a kind sergeant, and he and Lorenzo may be able to mend what is broken . . .
