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.


Copies of the book will be available for purchase. Karen will stick around to sign and personalize your new book!
