 “Let’s go see the giraffes first,” is often heard at the zoo. Here’s the story of a very special giraffe who traveled all the way from Africa to Paris, France a long time ago. Given as a gift to the King of France, Zarafa traveled many miles by boat and walked the last 500 miles. The king and his subjects were quite enthralled with this exotic creature. The next time you visit giraffes at the zoo, I am sure you will think of Zarafa.  (Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Award nominee, 2011)
