Rozanne Travels to Africa to Kiss a Giraffe

To Kiss a Giraffe!! Who Gets to do THAT?
t 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.”

The Giraffe Joins the Lion King
As a longtime national magazine journalist devoted to global environmental and wildlife issues, I’m happy to read and recommend this fun and fascinating account of one of my favorite species of charismatic mega fauna. The ungainly yet graceful giraffe has long been eclipsed by lion, elephant, and rhino in the public wonder and imagination. Thanks to Ms. Weissman’s intimate and fun encounter with this magnificent creature, it’s now their turn to delight and fascinate a new generation of young conservationists. Bravo, and thanks for solving my annual dilemma of what to gift my grandchildren this holiday season.

Same passion as her work on Animal Planet
Rozanne put the same passion into her authentic children’s book as she did into the highly successful launch and rapid growth of Discovery Inc.’s Animal Planet Channel!
