Fiercely told this is a powerful coming-of-age story told in verse from one of the UK's
leading poets Dean Atta. Perfect for fans of Sarah Crossan and Poet X. A boy comes to terms
with his identity as a mixed-race gay teen - then at university he finds his wings as a drag
artist The Black Flamingo. A bold story about the power of embracing your uniqueness.
Sometimes we need to take charge to stand up wearing pink feathers - to show ourselves to the
world in bold colour. 'I masquerade in makeup and feathers and I am applauded.' "A bold and
joyous hymn to self-discovery and acceptance" The Bookseller
