I have a children's book that I have both written and illustrated. It is a story about a little boy named Simon who
loves giraffes - so much in fact, that he would often visit the zoo to see his tall friends. Simon is a bit of an artist
and would draw pictures of the giraffes that he'd see at the zoo. One day, with the help of some magic crayons,
his drawing of the giraffe comes to life! He decides to call his new pet giraffe "Ralphie".
Please let me know if you would like further information about my book.
