The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta
4.0

I loved The Black Flamingo. It is a book told in verse and tells the story of Michael, a gay, black boy from England. We follow his story from childhood to university, where he discovers drag.

The verses by Dean Atta and the illustrations by Anshika Khullar work very well together. The story is beautiful, I flew through it. It is another book I read in one day. I really recommend you pick it up.
