Protecting the Planet: The Season of Giraffes

Once, this season of rains was the season of giraffes…

In this powerful picture-book, bestselling children’s author Nicola Davies writes in collaboration with conservationist Kisilu Musya to explain how one of the world’s best-loved animals has dealt with the challenges of climate change.

Giraffes were once a part of daily life in Niger - but after severe droughts one year, when the rains eventually return, the giraffes are nowhere to be seen. However, as award-winning artist Emily Sutton’s magnificent illustrations capture, The Beauty of Giraffes ultimately has a hopeful, celebratory story to share … and an important point to make about how human beings can change for the better.
