The giRaft : a real-life giraffe rescue / by Laurel Neme ; illustrated by Elisa Paganelli.
"Poor Asiwa--time is running out! She and seven other rare Nubian giraffes have peacefully lived on a peninsula that juts out into Lake Baringo in Kenya. But now relentless rain and rising floodwaters have turned their home into an island. Food is running out. It's especially desperate for Asiwa, as the water has stranded her away from the other giraffes. She is alone and frightened. If the giraffes aren't rescued, this rare, endangered breed will be one step closer to extinction. But how does one transport an almost 20-foot-tall wild animal? With a giRaft, of course! An alliance of wildlife rangers, conservancies, and local community members works to create a flotational device specifically to ferry the giraffes to a new home. Will Asiwa and her herd get on board? Written by noted conservationist Laurel Neme, the extraordinary rescue of Asiwa and her herd of Baringo giraffes comes to life. Back matter shares more about Asiwa, as well as fun giraffe facts"--Jacket flap.
