Join us for the debut of Are You A Giraffe?

a prequel to the Lady Lucy series.

In this story, youngsters are introduced to Lucy and some of her animal friends.

Lucy goes in search of a giraffe, one animal she has never seen.

Through simple word use, repetition, and hide-and-seek, this book will become a favorite.

The story also messages the importance of respecting diversity at all levels.
