From the Author
In 1995, I visited Kenya, Africa and first heard the story of a baby giraffe I imagined to be Twiga. While in the original story, Twiga fell into a swimming pool at a wildlife sanctuary, I imagined other adventures he might have had and ways that he would try to satisfy his curiosity while his mama tried desperately to keep him safe. Mike's amazingly beautiful illustrations capture the beauty of the savannah from daybreak at the beginning of the book to the sunset at the end.
