To Kiss a Giraffe!! Who Gets to do THAT?
It was my mother & step-father who started Giraffe Manor when Daisy Rothschild & Marlon, two endangered baby Rothschild giraffe, came to live at our house in the suburbs of Nairobi, Kenya. They later turned our home into the hotel it is today & founded the now famous Giraffe Centre. I therefore LOVED Rozanne Weissman’s new children’s book,”Rozanne Travels to Africa to Kiss a Giraffe!” It’s absolutely charming & just perfect for the level of children’s understanding & their sense of awe. BRAVA Rozanne! You’ve really got a winner on your hands. I know children from all around the world will lap up this book which speaks directly to THEM! And I hope it makes it into multiple languages for that very purpose. I’d love to see it become a New York Times best seller, because it’s also a joyful & fascinating book, even for an adult.
—Dancy Mills who grew up in Kenya’s famed Giraffe Manor

IMAGINE. With Rozanne
Rozanne worked with children 2-9 and teachers in developing ‘Rozanne Travels to Africa to Kiss a Giraffe 🦒.’ Since COVID19 climate, she wants to use this book to tap into the imaginations of scared, anxious, bored children who love animals and wildlife and take them with her on three separate imaginary journeys to see the wildlife in the book. Rozanne will share untold great stories—not in book—for each trip. Children will transport themselves into another world.
Many grandparents haven’t been able to see their grandchildren. And parents are overwhelmed—lost jobs, can’t pay bills, or juggling working from home and homeschooling kids. Afterward families can have conversations about the book, their children’s journeys, what they would like to do in the future. Meanwhile: What wildlife might they see on a walk, a park, a yard, zoo? What might they write now? Draw?
