A Heartwarming Tale of Bravery, Big Feelings,…and a Little Desi Magic.

Lumi is fearless at home, battling pirates with her flamingo friend, Peg-Leg. But the real world? That’s a whole different adventure. What happens when her tummy wobbles with worry? What if her new school feels too scary? What if she can’t find her voice? Just when the worries start to take over, along comes Fairy Flamingo — a bold, Bollywood-pink fairy - to sprinkle a little Desi magic. With a sparkle in her step and wisdom in her wings, she helps Lumi see that bravery isn’t about being ‘fearless’ - it’s about acknowledging the feeling and taking that first step - with a little help.

This heartwarming social-emotional picture book is perfect for children facing fear, worry, or separation-anxiety. Through fun and encouragement, Fairy Flamingo empowers little ones to navigate big emotions, self-regulate, and build self-confidence with courage, compassion, and support. It’s an ideal listen for kids experiencing first-day school jitters, self-doubt, or social anxiety — and the perfect gift to mark this milestone.
