| Publisher Description: The grassland savannahs of Africa where wild animals roam is the setting for this thoroughly delightful children's story.Jerome, the Short-Necked Giraffe is the main character, but whoever heard of a short-necked giraffe?What's more important to a giraffe than to have a beautiful long neck, which allows him/her to eat leaves and fruit from tall trees? One can only imagine what happens when the young giraffe Jerome refuses to do his neck-stretching exercises and ends up with a short neck.Jerome, the Short-Necked Giraffe is the result! Born in Italy, Urbano Salvati now resides in Las Vegas, having worked as a chef and culinary educator for forty years. He now delights young readers with his creative storytelling. He believes true happiness comes from love and from good food. "There is a certain magic about children's stories that I have always loved. I have always dreamed of beautifully written prose that will elicit in readers all of the best that our heart can produce."Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/UrbanoSalvati |
