11'' x 8 1/2,'' 32 pages, Full color, Hard cover ISBN 978-0-9791006-3-5 LOC 2007936127 Song for a Giraffe is a simple tale of friendship and the joy that comes from understanding that each of us is special – just the way we are. As the story gently unwinds, rich language and vivid illustrations send a child’s imagination soaring to new and delightful places. The story begins at the end of a day as a lone giraffe walks down to the river for a drink of water. One by one, animal friends visit and ask for her help. The giraffe carefully listens to all of them. A tired lioness fears growing old. A young hippo complains about being young. A gruff rhinoceros is lonely. The giraffe gently hugs each animal and shares with them a special message. The next morning, as the sun rises and begins to warm the African savannah, the animals come together in a colorful sea of spots, stripes, fur, feathers and horns. With one happy voice they offer a special gift to the giraffe. Anyone wanting to introduce the powerful message that we all have a place in this world will love sharing Song for a Giraffe with a child.
