TEACH YOUR GIRAFFE TO SKI is Viviane Elbee's debut picture book. Illustrations by Danni Gowdy. Published by Albert Whitman & Company.
A cautious little boy and a thrill-seeking giraffe hit the ski slopes in this hilarious learn-to-ski story. Kirkus Review calls it "a wintry friendship story that cleverly conceals a how-to for conquering one's fears and getting back up after snowy falls," and Booklist calls it "a sparkling double debut."
