Book Description
Billy Giraffe has been struck by Cupid’s arrow. He wants to engage the interest of beautiful Carolyn Tawny-Mane, who has just gotten a job at the local newspaper, The Giraffe Gazette. He tells her of his adventures with friends, crazy hotel guests he’s met at the Giraffe Hotel, and the triumphs of his Grandfather Torch, when he fooled a lion and saved the clan from a rhinoceros stampede. Billy realizes he is a truly good storyteller, and that he can stand up for himself, despite a tattle-tale brother and two older know-it-all sisters. Says the author, “As a young man I was not allowed to read comic books or any kind of fantasy at all. So I surprised my family and friends when I created the story line for this book. I wanted to bring more fantasy into my life and share the joy of it with others. I have always liked giraffes due to their mild but adventurous natures, and feel they have not been understood as well as elephants, tigers, and bears.”

The Clown Doctor Chronicles
Author: Caroline Simonds
Publisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 9789042010796
Category : Children
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
This is the first book in English to provide a close-up view of the emotional and rewarding experiences of clown-doctors working with hospitalized children. It describes the development of a new program in a pediatric hospital and all the challenges that confront clown-doctors. The book recounts work that takes place over a few months in 1999-2000. Most of the children that are described had been diagnosed with leukemia and other serious forms of cancer. They were hospitalized often and ran the risk of death. This book is a tale of love and humor and of dealing with great traumas and tragedy. It tells of the immense compassion and the amazing resilience of individuals in the most stressful and debilitating of circumstances. It is a small window looking onto what it is to be human with all our strengths and frailties and of how complete strangers can become bonded to one another through laughter and pain. The story presented here is based upon real case studies annotated with occasional commentaries to put these experiences into perspective. Above all else this book is a celebration and an homage to all the children, their parents and care-givers who have shared their lives with clown-doctors in many countries around the world. The Clown-Doctor Chronicles is written to 'speak' to people of all ages: men and women; professionals, trades people and homemakers in cities, towns and villages; for laughter and illness know no boundaries. It will be of particular interest to parents, artists in hospitals and anybody working with children (health care professionals, educators, psychologists).
