The Parable of Mama Giraffe: A Story About the Existence of God

“Does God really exist?”
“How can I believe in what I cannot see?”

The notion of God can be difficult for young children to comprehend. This kid's book offers parents a creative way to introduce the existence of God in a simple, fun and smart way.

This beautifully illustrated story highlights a curious conversation between two baby giraffes inside their mother’s womb. The twins question the existence of life after birth, and wonder if there is something else on the outside, allowing young minds to make the parallel with the existence of God.

Suitable not only for kids but also for older minds, this book promises to bring a different way of thinking whether you believe in God or wonder if He really exists.

The story behind this book
This book is based on the famous story Does Mother Exist - Is There Life After Birth, written by the author Pablo J. Molinero.

A short version of this story has traveled around the world and has been shared more than one million times on social media. We liked this story so much that we decided to adapt it and share it with children.

The original story is about a discussion between two fetuses inside their mother's womb. The two babies are talking about life after birth and wonder if Mother exists on the outside. The exchanges between the two are full of meaning and push adults and children to reflect deeply on both the concept of the existence of God and of life per se.

Creating this story for children was an incredible challenge. Indeed, drawing a discussion was the most difficult thing. This is why we called on Luis Perez, one of the most talented illustrators out there, to illustrate this exchange in the most elegant way. In addition, in order to adapt the story for children, human fetuses have been replaced with baby giraffes, which adds a fanciful touch for children.

We consider this story as a work of art that should exist in every family’s library.
