Fixing Flamingos

£14.99

“We all agree evolution is a good thing, but why does it have to take so bloody long? A few million years to go from fins to feet just isn’t quick enough in this age of immediate software updates, drone deliveries, and canned whipped cream. People want change, and they want it NOW. Enter Abby, an intern assigned to Heaven’s newly formed Updates Team. While The Boss takes care of the big stuff, Abby’s tasked with reviewing hundreds of feedback forms from the recently deceased. Her job: to assess which suggestions should be put into production. Should humans have collapsible skeletons? How many ants does it take to carry a middle-aged woman to Costco? Are we ready to try self-generated meat? Writer Lucienne Brown and award-winning artist Brian Rea tell Abby’s story of successes, failures, and unfortunate mishaps, making Fixing Flamingos a witty tribute to the most relatable struggles of modern-day existence”–.

Description

Giant fluffy honeybees, dad jokes from God, and a mountain of perplexing paperwork populate this illustrated book about an intern in heaven who is determined to solve the world’s least pressing problems.

At its heart, Fixing Flamingos is a comedic ode to the minute struggles of modern-day existence and a reminder that even small changes can make a big impact – often in the most unexpected (and sometimes disastrous) ways. The story follows Abby, an ambitious intern who is tasked with single-handedly reviewing and implementing suggestions from the recently deceased to improve life on Earth.

Page through the wild but well-intentioned ideas – which include everything from flamingo design proportions and sideways sunsets to universal feet sizing and renewable energy powered by snoring and purring – and follow along as Abby researches their feasibility and decides whether or not to execute the changes.

Whimsical illustrations by Brian Rea help readers envision the oddball improvements, while Lucienne Brown’s witty writing brings Abby the Intern to life in all her self-starting, imaginative glory.
