A magical tale of finding friendship where you least expect it. Bertie the giraffe's life runs over very straight lines. He always has the same breakfast. He always takes the same stroll. He always naps under the same tree. But - wait a minute - who's this under the tree today? A blue giraffe? Blue?! Kristyna studied Illustration at Edinburgh College of Art and graduated in 2010. She now lives in a beautiful village in Yorkshire where she is heavily reliant on the good old pencil and a great big cup of tea to keep her going, whilst habitually singing, or twiddling her hair. Her first picture book, Flint's Odd Socks, followed by Chickens Can't See In The Dark were highly commended for the Macmillan Prize two year's running.
