About the Book

An ultimately inspiring story of how giraffes have dealt with modern climate change, beautifully told and illustrated – and marking the launch of an exciting new series. Once, this season of rains was the season of giraffes... In this powerful picture-book, bestselling children's author Nicola Davies writes in collaboration with conservationist Kisilu Musya to explain how one of the world's best-loved animals has dealt with the challenges of climate change. Giraffes were once a part of daily life in Niger – but after severe droughts one year, when the rains eventually return, the giraffes are nowhere to be seen. However, as award-winning artist Emily Sutton's magnificent illustrations capture, The Beauty of Giraffes ultimately has a hopeful, celebratory story to share ... and an important point to make about how human beings can change for the better. "Nicola Davies is one of the best children's writers in the business." Huffington Post "Emily Sutton is one of our greatest children's illustrators." The Times

Review :
Nicola Davies tells [the giraffes’] story with a truthful tenderness whilst Emily Sutton captures the beauty of the animals and their landscape in her vibrant artwork and we all love the happy ending we discover. Nicola’s story of optimism shows how with resolve, we humans can change things for the better; it’s gorgeously illustrated by Emily Sutton who captures both the grace of the animals and their homeland, and the lifestyle of some of the people of Niger. The first in a series, this book helps children to understand the negative and positive impact humans can have on the world. Davies’ knowledge and passion ooze through all of her work, and The Season of Giraffes is no exception. She and Emily Sutton are proving to be a phenomenal collaborative force. A story of hope […] Emily Sutton’s illustrations bring depth to the story, showing that when nature thrives, the world is a richer place.
