Synopsis

A rollicking rhyming text shows how a baby giraffe learns, with a little help from her friends, to be true to herself.

All giraffes, even baby Gisele, know that the juiciest leaves are on the tops of the trees. But how does she reach them? No matter how she stretches or twists, those tasty leaves are just too high. A strong story with a light touch, and colorful art with extra touches of humor, appeals to both children and adults.

Richard loves working on picture books because no matter how simple the narrative, you can always read between the lines--the only limit is your imagination! Richard says of a recent book, "Watersong is a special book in which the story is told through onomatopoeia, using the sounds water makes. It was challenging to create a story around these words but, in the end, the story of a fox...seemed to shine through. Watersong was recently included in the New York Public Library's Best Books for Kids 2017 list."
