Only one month until DO YOU REALLY KNOW FLAMINGOS comes out! It’s a book about curiosity and communication …and flamingos. 🦩
This waiting period always makes me nervous and excited. So making this trailer was a nice distraction to take my mind off the waiting.
The music for this was composed by my amazingly talented friend @gbshafer It would be amazing if you preordered a copy from anywhere books are sold. I have a link in my bio.

A book of flamingo facts with one unanswered question at the end? Yep. Sometimes it’s better to admit we don’t know an answer than presenting a theory as a fact.
I really liked this page from my new book. DO YOU REALLY KNOW FLAMINGOS? It’s out now so give it a look!
🦩✨Animal facts have never been so funny, in this picture book that celebrates curiosity and communication! Don't miss DO YOU REALLY KNOW FLAMINGOS? by Brandon Todd—on shelves now!
Had a lovely interview with @simply_7_books to celebrate Flamingo’s book bday. We talked research, inspiration, and the windy path to getting published. Thanks for the opportunity Jena! I put a link to it in my bio if you are interested.
My editor informed me that last Sunday was National Flamingo day. I HAD NO IDEA! 🦩 I also got my advance copies of DO YOU REALLY KNOW FLAMINGO? this weekend. Here’s a little preview. It comes out in 2 WEEEEEKS!
Independent Bookstore Day is this weekend!
Seemed like the perfect time to share a few upcoming events I’m doing at my local bookstores and library. If you are around say hi and find out how well you know flamingos.
And if you own a local bookstore in the Kansas City area I’d love to come by and do a storytime with you.
Support your local bookstores!
My endpapers don’t add to the story. They ease you into it. They are mood lighting for my books.
Here are the three I’ve made so far.
1. Do You Really Know Flamingos? (Out in three weeks. Preorder now! Link in bio)
2. Tou-Can’t: A little Sister Story
3. The Bear Must Go On. By Dev Petty
Happy Artemis II crew made it home safely. But sad to not be getting their updates. The wonder it’s inspired was contagious. I just went to a space themed birthday party today that reminded me a lot of some parts from my third Adventure Friends book Bright Star. I love this illustration by @gloriafelixart
