    An entertaining and moving tribute to big brothers by the author/illustrator of Meet Me at the Moon and Following Papa's Song.

    Continuing her picture book stories about family relationships, Gianna Marino introduces Little Giraffe, who adores her big brother. Set in a stunning African landscape, the story begins with a game of hide-and-seek as Little Giraffe looks for her big brother, who's just out of her sight, but always safely nearby. As she asks the many animals she encounters on her search if they've seen him, it's evident how much she admires him. He's taller and faster and braver than her, she tells them. But as the search continues, the other animals insist that Little Giraffe is tall, and fast, and brave, too . . . and best of all, she has a wonderful older brother who looks out for her!
    ★ “A humorous, satisfying surprise . . . Brilliant fun.” –KIRKUS, Starred Review

    "This reassuring story of new-found confidence will resonate with growing youngsters who are discovering their own capabilities. And they will relish being in on secrets withheld from the young protagonist." –SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

She’s made a living as an apprentice to a muralist, a jewelry designer, a product designer, and a horse-carriage driver. Addicted to foreign adventure, Gianna has traveled the world, from Mongolia to Ethiopia to tiny towns in South America. Between explorations, she lives and works in Southern Colorado.
