Bookroo's summary

In the heart of Africa, Little Giraffe embarks on a hide-and-seek adventure to find her big brother. As she questions the animals she meets, her admiration for him grows. He's taller, faster, and braver, she believes. Yet, as the journey unfolds, the animals reveal that Little Giraffe possesses these qualities too. Will she realize her own potential while cherishing the bond with her protective brother? This heartwarming tale explores sibling love and self-discovery in a vibrant landscape.

From the publisher

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!
