Angelo the alligator was different in every way. With eyes bright blue and skin snow white, he
loved to watch the butterflies and fireflies. One day he came upon a marsh filled with flowers
and wove some into a crown. What happens when he wears his beautiful new crown?
Artist and illustrator Shannon Kelley Atwater shares a sweet story of friendship and
community celebrating the differences that make individuals special and overcoming the
stereotypes that separate them. Her expressive illustrations capture the feelings of friendship, joy,
and--sometimes--alienation that children experience in a story that provides a valuable lesson
of acceptance. When the swamp friends unite in a procession that rejoices in the things that make
them unique, something truly magical occurs. Come along and join their parade
